I’ve been playing around with different sauces to keep things interesting – since I eat so much salmon (and fish in general) – and this raspberry sauce has been such a nice addition to our daily meals.
It’s super simple and easily turns a plain grilled salmon into something a bit more fun. Here we had it with rice (cooked with homemade bone broth), fresh lime, avocado and cucumber. 🙂
