If you ask us (and you didn't, but we'll tell you anyway), a bacon shallot jam can go on anything. Steak, chicken, veggies, on top of an ice cream sundae… maybe less so that last one. But its sweetness perfectly matches the richness (yet lightness!) of the salmon, making a flavor marriage that's built to last. Bacon shallot jam can go on anything, but it goes perfectly here.
