Salmon with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette and Pickled Veg

Wow, this was good. I have never cooked salmon this way and I absolutely loved it; it was so soft, flaky, and tender. (I had some really nice pieces of sockeye, so maybe that made a difference.) I made this as written, really; I used carrots and baby cucumbers, and forgot the chives. I used brown basmati rice to up the nutritional value a little. Totally delicious and devoured by all, including my 9 and 14 year olds. Light, healthy, super tasty.

This was quick, easy and only needed a couple of adjustments. But this was just awesome for a week night meal with no hassle! First, bake the salmon at 350, not 250. Second, add some honey to the pickled veggies ( and some sesame seeds and chili flakes too if you have them), I've never had a pickle without the sweet element added. And if you feel like it, add a splash of fish sauce to the chili-lime sauce, but not necessary. And I used green onions instead of chives ( better in my opinion). But that's it! I served this with jasmine rice and it will definitely be on a heavy rotation in our house.

The method for roasting the salmon did not work out for me well. I was still mostly raw even after a longer cooking time. (Not sure if that was the point) I felt like this was not very flavorful but also not horrible. I probably would not try again.

Excellent! I used parchment paper under the salmon for quick clean up.

This just bounced up into my family 'favorites' list. Easy to make and really delicious. I've already made it twice... for family and then for a patio dinner party and both times, the recipe got rave reviews. Go easy on the salt when pickling vegetables. I resisted the urge to grill the salmon and found baking it to be easy and delicious.

Only one word to describe: AMAZING. Oh and easy too :) I used Franks red hot as it was all I had on hand at the time and it was great. I also shaved all of my veggies with the peeler to create veggie "noodles" essentially. Made for a nice texture.

This was an easy and delicious dinner. I'm not a great cook but it was easy to follow the steps and my wife loved it. We will be adding this to our regular dinner repertoire. Easy, healthy, and delicious! I did substitute a 1/2 tablespoon of the overall 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil with sesame oil to give it a more "asian" and nutty flavor and used sriracha instead of cholula. We also made it with brown rice to make it more healthy. It came out great!
