I was a little heavy handed on the cheese and it was amazing. Thanks for the recipe.

Awesome recipe. Great to have some variety for Salmon a staple here in the Northwest. I made my own sauce, and just sprinkled the cheese over the top before cooking.

Actually, I made this twice. The first time I used the package of Knorr bernaise and thought it was a 3 or 4 star. The second time, I made my own bernaise and thought it was a definite 5! I too only used one package (or the equivalent of my own).
