In search of the proper festive Christmas dinner? Make my Vacation Jeweled Salmon and watch as jaws drop! Right here my unimaginable Honey Garlic Baked Salmon is topped with a simple orange rosemary yogurt sauce, dried cranberries, pistachios, and pomegranate arils. It’s a festive pink, white, and inexperienced dish that tastes like an explosion of vacation flavors!
O.M.G. I actually can not stress how good that is. I made this for my mother and we couldn’t even keep on a dialog whereas consuming it. It’s positively swoon-worthy.
P.S. Shoutout to Savory Alaska. This wild caught Alaskan salmon was unimaginable!
This can be a excellent make-ahead recipe for any glamorous feast throughout the holidays since you don’t need the salmon piping scorching once you spoon the yogurt sauce on high. It will collapse! Whisk the yogurt sauce collectively so it’s prepared. You actually may let the baked salmon hang around on the counter for as much as an hour earlier than topping and serving it, however at the very least let it cool for ten minutes earlier than ending it!
This may be wonderful with roasted Brussel sprouts, Butternut Squash Salad, and rice or dare I say mashed potatoes. It will be outrageously scrumptious with mashed potatoes! I hope you’re keen on this recipe as a lot as I do.
