Salmon with Figs, Bacon and Pistachios

Figs are a few of my favorite things.

I can’t believe all of those years I claimed I didn’t like figs mainly because of fig newtons (even though I don’t even remember having one). But the first time I was really introduced to figs was up in Indy with this recipe. Because of that recipe I became a little obsessed with figs.

I make this appetizer at almost every party and have this sandwich more times than I should probably admit. Then I came into the dilemma what do I do when figs are out of season? Then Dalmatia Spreads entered the picture. I am not joking when I say  it changed my world. You can have it on some crackers with cheese, put it in drinks, and yes put it on salmon!

When we went to the beach a few months ago I made this same dish with snapper and pecans. But since I already have a snapper and pecans dish I knew it needed a little more pizzazz. First I wanted to choose a fish that’s more readily available (ie you don’t see a lot of snapper in the grocery stores in December). And since I already knew pistachios and figs go well together in true food blogger fashion we added some bacon!  This recipe can serve up to 5 people depending on the sizes of the fillets or as few as 3 if you want more spread on your salmon.

As if I didn’t love this fig spread enough I was fortunate to try a few more samples of their other products and it got my wheels spinning of what I could do with them! I see lots of sour cherry spread, quince spread and even some red pepper spread in my future.
