HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CHIMICHURRI SAUCE FOR THE SALMON
I love making fresh Chimichurri sauce for recipes just like this one. This sauce is amazing straight from the jar (trust me, I eat it by the spoonful) and on so many recipes.
I’ve used it to top spicy grilled chicken, on top of burgers and this salmon recipe. I don’t know what it wouldn’t be good on to be honest.
