I made this tasty recipe for my sister last week. She is a huge seafood fan, so I am trying to cook a lot of the food that she likes while she is visiting. We both love salmon very much and I wanted to make something different and special for her and that is how this Salmon with Coconut-Saffron Sauce was born!
It was fantastic guys...the coconut and saffron together is a marriage made in heaven and the saffron gives this dish a beautiful color too.
Buen provecho!

The sauce sounds amazing - I love how you have it all on a bed of asparagus. This would be perfect for dinner outdoors on a warm spring evening!

Beautiful. What a great idea. I bet that sauce would be good with shrimp as well. Thanks for a new twist on salmon.

Ooooh, this looks interesting! We tend to only use our saffron for making paella, which is just ridiculous. This looks like a must-try.
