    Salmon is my favorite fish to both cook and eat. It’s colorful, versatile and rich. Although I love to cook a variety of white fish, salmon is the fish I try first when I have a new recipe idea. It doesn’t get lost under condiments, making it easier to play with different flavors. Also, salmon’s silky texture gives it a wonderful quality, making it not only an easy weeknight option, but a dinner party favorite.

    Oven baked salmon takes only minutes to cook, so it's no surprise that one of the biggest mistakes people make when cooking it, is over-cooking it. Fish should be cooked until it's just barely cooked through, so it flakes when pricked with a fork, but is still moist and tender on the inside.

    This dish is a perfect example of simple yet flavorful cooking. I marinated the salmon in KRAFT® sweet balsamic dressing. The dressing seeps into the rich salmon while baking, creating an amazing sweet and tangy contrast, while keeping it moist. I served the salmon on top of a sweet potato and green plantain puree which complimented the salmon perfectly.

    The mashed sweet potatoes and plantain has a great texture and just enough butter to please, without the extra calories you usually find in mashed potatoes.

    This Sweet Balsamic Salmon with Mashed Sweet Potato and Plantain dish is very simple to make and bursting with flavor. It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal, while elegant enough to serve at your next special occasion dinner. Buen provecho!

      Love the mashed sweet potatoes and plantain combination. And yep agree with salmon and how it should be cooked. Not accessible to most but the best way to cook it is sous-vide.

      So good! Even my two year old who normally is not a fan of salmon loved this! Easy recipe and we used Coho Salmon. Thanks for posting these. It's teaching me so much about Colombian cooking i moved to America when I was 11 so all these recipes bring me back to my country!
