How to Make Sweet And Sour Salmon

  1. Gently remove any bones from the salmon fillet using pliers and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Poach the salmon in a saucepan of simmering water for 5-7 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained) and cooked salmon.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, sugar, cornstarch, and Dijon mustard.
  6. Add the vinegar and soy sauce to the pineapple mixture and whisk until smooth.
  7. Pour the sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and salmon. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes clear (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Gently stir in the drained pineapple chunks.
  10. Serve the Sweet and Sour Salmon immediately over a bed of cooked rice.
