Tips & Warnings

• If you are going through the expense of buying salmon, don't buy a generic rice mixture as it doesn't work as well. Use a name brand wild rice mix.
• Two of the best vegetables to serve with this dish are asparagus or Brussels sprouts, as the bitterness in these vegetables compliments the sweetness of the raspberry sauce.
• Salmon's best flavors are captured in a grill. During winter months, try using an indoor grill.
• A lemon cut up, squeezed and placed in a bowl on a counter should help with any residual fish smell.
