I had to put off making this a few days because I was missing the coriander, but finally got the chance and let me tell you, for a salmon-lover like me this was a real taste treat, quite the quality I'd expect from a dish in a top gourmet restaurant. Having tasted it, I'm doubly honored that you invented this for me, Rita. Thank you so much. I'll be sharing this often.
