This was easy to prepare and easy to clean up, thanks to the use of parchment paper. I used a thick Greek yogurt so I skipped the straining part. I used all fresh ingredients. We liked it, but didn't love it. I served with a side of roasted asparagus. Thanks for a fast, easy dinner.

Very different take on salmon. I love kalamata olives, so I really enjoyed this. It turns out beautifully too. Thanks for another great recipe! Made for Holiday tag.

Lovely way to cook salmon and so light and flavourful. We eat a lot of salmon and always looking for new recipes. Fresh dill makes all the difference. Thanks for a wonderful addition to my files.
