Timing is as per instruction. Quite easy to make. On it's own the portion is small. Need to pair with some vegetables on the side.

This is a keeper, easy to make and tastes great. My 4 year old granddaughter cleaned her plate.

I tried this for the first time last night. I used the garlic herb flavored feta and it was quite tasty. I will make again in the future.

one of my alltime favorite salmon recipes. is also excellent on the grill - on top of some heavy duty foil of course. yum!

Great mix of flavors. A little rich though so next time I will use a little less cream and feta cheeses. It's a keeper though.
