Another beautiful day at the beach calls for another beautiful salmon recipe. And it’s sockeye salmon season which is all the more reason to make a summer Friday salmon. This is one of our favorite salmon toppings. It’s the classic corn, avocado, tomato salsa. But the key here is the new sauce we tried from William Sonoma. It’s a Sweet Onion Applewood Barbecue Sauce and it creates the perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors for salmon. And paired with this salsa…so SO good you guys.
Like I mentioned, today was a perfect day at the beach. It was one of those days with unbeatable weather. Clear blue skies and the right breeze. Not too hot, not too cold. So we definitely enjoyed our beach day today which made me even more excited to have this beachy seafood dinner.
And we’ve still got a whole beautiful weekend ahead, so cheers !! Now back to my rum and orange juice to pair with this fun summer dish !
