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!

Wow the colors just pop - the salmon color of the well, salmon, the bright yellow of the saffron and the lovely green of that gorgeous asparagus. They say to try to eat from all the colors and this dish covers several in one go. What a yummy looking meal.
