In our family, salmon is a staple. Oh sure, we love that it’s a great source of protein, omega-3 fats and whole host of other valuable nutrients but most of all…it’s absolutely delish. Although I have a recipe elsewhere on my website for a crazy good topping for salmon (with mustard and horseradish sauce: https://bonnietaubdix.com/gluten-free-tangy-mustardhorseradish-sauce-for-salmon/) — this salmon chunk recipe below has become our new fave. Please send me a photo if you try this — a crowd-pleaser for sure!
