The flavors on this were wonderful and the fish turned out very moist. I was a little unsure what to do with all the leftover sauce though. Perhaps I should have let it cook down longer? Maybe serve it with rice or pasta to soak it up.<br/>Made for ZWT8

mikekey, this was wonderful! The salmon came out perfectly done, and the sauce complemented it so well. I didn't have any saffron, so I used a bit more of the other spices. There was certainly more than enough sauce which I soaked up with some French bread. Thanks!

Very good! We had about 2 loafs of bread soaking the juice. Thanks mikekey.
