Salmon Marsala Recipe - A fun fish recipe twist on a classic dish!

I’ve always had a love affair with salmon. But when I got pregnant with my first son, I couldn’t stand the smell.

Even a couple of years later, just the thought of my beloved salmon was enough to make me feel queasy.

But I figured, if salmon and I were ever to be on friendly terms again, it was up to me to make the first move.

I began making just the basic broiled salmon at home.

And before I knew it, we had made up. (Thank goodness!)

Salmon is by far my favorite fish. Well, that and raw tuna when I order sushi.

Are Marsala and Sherry Similar

While both Marsala and sherry are fortified wines, they differ in flavor profile and origin.

Marsala is an Italian wine with a sweet, nutty flavor, often used in cooking to add richness to sauces and desserts, while sherry, originating from Spain, can vary in flavor from dry to sweet and is commonly used in cooking.

Can Marsala Wine Go Bad

Like other wines, Marsala wine can eventually go bad, especially if it’s been open for an extended period.

Factors like exposure to air, heat, and light can accelerate the oxidation process, leading to a loss of flavor and quality.
