This is a delicious, easy summer salmon dish that gives you a lot of bang for your bucks. We liked it grilled, but you could also broil it in the oven, cook it in a non-stick skillet, or even nuke it! The creamy (faux) 'tartar' sauce is absolutely yummy and really complements the rich, flaky salmon. This dish is great either hot or cold.
