Veri Peri Review, Giveaway and Salmon Recipe

Veri Peri is Saucy!

I love a good sauce. I have one shelf in my pantry devoted to all the sauces, condiments, marinades and dressings that I find while out shopping. This does not include what is in the fridge etiher. I was recently blessed with the opportunity to try out Veri Peri cooking sauces. Veri Peri is manufactured in South Africa by a company called “All Joy” and is available in five flavors: Lemon and Herb, Garlic, Mild, Hot and Veri Hot. The heat level ranges from 1-10 so there is a sauce here for anyone. All varieties are gluten-free, dairy-free and low carb, and contain the African Bird’s Eye Chili.


Mouthwatering would be a accurate description of each variety. These sauces are infused with flavors that compliment just about any dish. The first one I tried was the Lemon and Herb on salmon.

 Salmon Recipe, Veri Peri Sauces

I prefer to grill salmon on the barbeque, however with about 4 inches of snow on the ground, that didn’t sound too appealing so I opted to bake my fish. I poured some of the Lemon and Herb over my salmon, added a few capers for that tart taste and wrapped it in foil. Depending on how big your salmon steak is, bake it at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. I use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked all the way through and the fish came out moist and delicious. The Lemon and Herb was the right compliment to the salmon. It was not the type of lemon flavor that gives you the sour-face pucker, it did have punch of lemon that was not at all overpowering. I think this sauce would compliment any type of fish, shellfish or chicken. I would love to try it next on shrimp and veggie kabobs… when the snow leaves of course.

The next one I tried was the garlic and as you readers know, I sure do love my garlic. This time I mixed it in my hamburger meat for burger night. My hubby went out in the snow and grilled them for me because as we all know, the best burgers are grilled, not fried. The burger was juicy and had that garlic flavor that I crave. I think this would make a great marinade for steak as well.



Veri Peri is not just for cooking. You can also add Veri Peri to dips to give them a bit of kick or even use it as a marinade for your favorite meat or fish. This sauce is versitile and there is something there for everyone’s tast buds.

    I think I might go for the Garlic and marinate some shrimp; my husband would probably brush his teeth with the Veri-Hot if allowed.

    Have you ever tried cooking ELK. It is a very tough meat, so I would marinate it over night with the LEMON AND HERB spice along with one half can of beer. The beer would tenderize the meat while the lemon and her would give it a great flavor

    I would like to try all of them but I think I would try the hot first and use it as a marinade for chicken then I would skewer the chicken with vegetables and grill. Served over a rice pilaf with a mango salsa.

    I like all of them but I would most likely use the lemon & herb the most for fish & chicken which I eat the most. Use as a marinate & side sauce.

    Since I like all things spicy it would be the Veri hot which I would probably add to Chili or use as a marinade on chicken to make like a Buffalo Chicken style dish.

    Lemon and herb! I would use it for grilling. Would definitely use it for my salmon as well (I currently just use lemon pepper seasoning and it leaves a lot to be desired).
