This was delicious! Even my husband, who is not a salmon lover, complimented me AND ate it all! I made it according to the directions except I added the juice of 1 lemon (not sure how many TB this is, but it was just right) and an extra TB of butter. So yummy! This meal will be added to my regular rotation!

I'm happy to be the first to review this recipe....it was wonderful! I cut the salmon down (for 2 of us....not sure of exzct weight) but otherwise prepared it as called for. The sauce is delectable and went so well with the orzo and small green peas and onions that went with the dinner. Thanks for posting a keeper Tom&Candy!
