Barbeque Sauce for Seafood

Posted by Jason, Apr 09, 2007

After having the barbeque salmon special at Raku last week, I've been on a manhunt for a good recipe for barbeque sauce that's adequate for topping on seafood and I think I finally found it. The sauce is so rich and aromatic that I could smell it outside my house. Check out the recipe if found on Epicurious here. It's very quick to make assuming that you have all the ingredients ready.

The only modifications I made are using 50% clover honey and 50% lavender honey (it just happened to be the kinds of honey that we had in the cupboard), and I used a combinations of Anaheim, jalepeno, and serrano peppers instead of just jalepenos. I really think the clover honey made quite a difference in the recipe as clover really added some kick to the flavor, and the aroma was enhanced as well.

Happy Monday.

FYI - The link the recipe is missing.

sigh. just shows you where my head is this morning...

Did you make the dressing also, or is the sauce enough flavor on its own for salmon?

I think the dressing is for the "salad" under the salmon. I'm not planning to get that complex with the salmon as I'm just going to grill it on the grill and serve it with some potatoes. I was mainly looking for the barbeque sauce.

OK, so I actually ate the barbeque sauce with some fish last night. My advice would be to cut the honey down significantly. It's a little sweet for my taste. The next time I make it, I'll probably cut down the honey by 50%.
