Salmon with rhubarb jam
Rhubarb is a species of plant that has pinkish stalks that are crisp like celery with a strong, tart taste and is often prepared as though it were a fruit. I decided to turn it into jam and thus became the inspiration to this salmon dish! If you cannot find rhubarb feel free to substitute fresh (or canned) pineapple instead
