This was easy to make and the breadcrumb mixture smelled great! I didn't think that the cream sauce would taste good cold over the salmon so I heated it up. I thought the salmon tasted fantastic, but the cream sauce didn't add much to the overall taste. Next time I would just use the "baked salmon" section of the recipe. Thanks for sharing!
