Hello Picton43. I wanted to thank you for your Crustless Salmon Quiche recipe. I tried searching for it so I could comment on it leaving you a review there but the link was no longer valid. I was just wanted to say thank you very much. I’ve made your salmon quiche several times and it works out beautifully. in fact what I do is I fluff up the eggs and milk so much that I’m able to spread it across two pie pans and make two quiches spreading the ingredients across both. Again, thank you very much and perhaps you would like to repost that recipe because I couldn’t find it today. Cheers, Louise

We try to eat fish once a week for the health benefits but I have never really enjoyed eating it until tonight! This was a spectacular dish the whole family enjoyed (even my 11 month old ate some fish tonight)! The basil and tomato flavored the fish beautifully. I used a red onion because that's what I had and I had just run out of carrots so I used zucchini instead. I didn't have garlic butter so I just used plain butter and added some minced garlic to the broth. I used whole wheat cous cous as well. I forgot the pepper flakes on accident, but I'm sure the meal would have been even better with them. Thank you for a different and wonderful way to cook fish that I will be using again and again!
