Three of thoroughly enjoyed this salmon (with the DS polishing of 2 pieces - so much for left overs), I used fresh rosemary, lemon thyme and garlic picked from the garden. I baked in 175C fan forced oven and was cooked to perfection in 20 minutes. Thank you *Parsley*, made for ZAAR Alphabet Soup.

This is a delicious way to cook salmon! I made foil packets for each fillet and cooked these on the grill. I didn't leave them to chill for 4 hours, only about 1. These would be terrific for dinner guests as you could prepare the packets ahead and then just grill when you are ready. I also used the same seasonings with one chicken breast for my non fish eating son. I served with skewered grilled new potatoes and some sauteed spinach. Delicious! Thanks!

This was sublime! Used a bargain piece of Atlantic salmon and my guests were convinced it was King salmon. Delicious! I didn't add the butter and it certainly didn't need it.

How can you go wrong with salmon and herbs - excellent recipe! Like Pat, I used lemon thyme, too, which goes so well with salmon. Thanks for posting this winner!<br/>Made for ZWT 7.
