I am so excited to share with you my 2015 entry into the Saucy Mama Recipe Contest!
I present to you, my contribution to the seafood category: Sesame Ginger Salmon over Crunchy Ramen Slaw!
I am super excited to be among the 25 bloggers that are taking part in this contest. It’s a qualifying event for the World Food Championships, that is being held in Kissimmee, Florida, this November.
Each blogger who was selected to participate, was given the choice of which Saucy Mama Sauces they would like to work with. Oh, my! Where to begin? After much contemplation, here is the line up of which sauces I chose:
We had to make a recipe that fit in to one of these categories: Burger, Sandwich, Bacon, Seafood, Pasta or Fresh Recipe. My mind was swimming with saucy ideas, and I couldn’t WAIT to get started.
I have a love affair with all things ginger, so I knew I wanted to use the Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing. Once I decided on what I would be making, I decided I just HAD to throw in the Miso Orange Sesame, as well.
They went so well together with the Asian style slaw and salmon I created.
I made a marinade for the salmon using the Miso Orange Sesame Dressing, sweetened up with some brown sugar.
Once the salmon was grilled, I glazed it with this deliciousness – made with Pacific Rim Ginger Dressing, and some fresh orange zest and juice.
The glazed salmon would have been perfect as it was, but I had to kick it up a notch. I LOVE colorful food, don’t you?
I made this AH-Mazing crunchy ramen slaw, and dressed it with BOTH dressings. The slaw has mandarin oranges, and really brought out that subtle flavor of orange to the salmon. It was a match made in heaven.
Saucy Mama Heaven.
These two sauces I will be ordering time and time again. I bet you would love to try them — right?
Keep reading, you can win THREE Saucy Mama Sauces of your OWN!
