I get excited any time I have the opportunity to prepare salmon because it's my favorite fish to cook. I love that it cooks completely in less than 10 minutes and you can pretty much dress it up with any sauce you wish. This time, I decided to get creative and prepare a tangy and sweet sauce to drizzle over my favorite fish. I served it with rice and a salad but it can also be wrapped in a tortilla any time you're craving salmon tacos!
