DH and I really loved this dish. I did have to cook it twice as long (unless you like raw fish) thats the only reason for 4 stars and not 5. The thickest part of my fish was 1/2 inch and it was still raw after 6 minutes. I did not use the sliced almonds, I really don't care for nuts in most dishes. I also skipped the drying of the fish with paper towels. I find it takes away alot of the fish taste. It had a wonderful sweet and spicy taste. I will be making this dish again. Thanks MA HIKER for posting.

Am always on the lookout for new ways to dress up salmon, & this is definitely A WINNER! This is the 1st time I've used five-spice powder, & it'll be in my spice rack from now on, as will this recipe be in my files! I like the orange & mustard combination, & will definitely be making this salmon again & again! Many thanks!

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
