Baked Salmon with Cilantro Sauce

A couple of days ago, I received a special request for a cilantro sauce. I saw this dish a couple of months ago in a local restaurant called Koto's. The establishment has good food but I have been noticing complaints from some people about their service and a couple of incidents where people see bugs. A very delicate matter, I'd say. My family likes to go there for their Cilantro salmon, but recently had to deal with rudeness from their staff. I guess sometimes people get the high air that because their restaurant has been established there and our sister city for so long, customer service doesn't matter. Regardless our client base, in this culinary industry, they still pay our bills. Here is the recipe requested.



Baked Salmon with Cilantro Sauce



Ingredients:
1 tbsp butter
2 minced garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 cups fresh cilantro with stems removed
1/4 tsp salt
5 tbsp sour cream or even table cream
4 tbsp olive oil
6 salmon filets
salt and pepper to taste for filets


Directions:
First melt the tbsp of butter in a saute pan. Add the green onions and garlic and saute for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the chicken broth and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a blender or food processor and add the 2 cups of fresh cilantro and the 1/4 tsp of salt and blend. Then add the sour cream and pulse until mixed.
Preheat oven to 400f.Then make paper foil pockets or packages to sit the salmon filets in. Add the olive oil to the pouches and then season the salmon filets with salt and pepper to taste and secure inside these pouches. Bake for 15-20 minutes until salmon is flaky and easily shreds with a fork. Serve on plate and dress with Cilantro Sauce. Enjoy! <3

  1. Wow!!! You are my new friend! Thanks! I've been looking for this recipe for ages! & you were spot on about Koto's but now, since they've opened again, I think it's better, customer service I mean. At least for to-go orders. Love your web-site
