Notes

Smoky Spice:
Give your Salmon Belly Salpicao a smoky twist by adding a dash of smoked paprika or chipotle powder to the dish. The smokiness will add depth and complexity to the flavor profile, complementing the richness of the salmon. Adjust the amount of spice according to your preference for a mild or fiery kick.
Herb Delight:
Elevate the aromatic notes by incorporating some chopped fresh herbs into the dish. Experiment with parsley, cilantro, or dill, adding them towards the end of cooking for a burst of fresh flavors. The herbs will enhance the overall aroma and bring an additional layer of complexity to the Salmon Belly Salpicao.
Coconut Cream Creaminess:
For a luscious twist, replace the olive oil with coconut cream in the recipe. The creamy coconut flavor will blend beautifully with the spiciness and tanginess of the dish, creating a delightful contrast. Simmer the salmon belly in the coconut cream for a few minutes until it thickens slightly, and enjoy the rich and indulgent result.
