I made this for my hubby and son. They raved about this recipe. They keep asking me to make it again. I know the sauce is what made this so yummy!

Salmon is one fish I eat twice a week, when I read the sauce recipe, I decided to make this as a sandwich for my grandson and I. Glad I did, it was a creamy tangy sauce, I did use less capers and used romaine lettuce in slightly taosted buns. Great, perfect recipe.
