I would totally recommend this recipe. I am new at cooking fish, but feel like a pro already! The tang of the sour cream really made my mouth water. I subbed 2 cans of cooked wild rice instead of the basmatti. It looked "wild" too. I'd recommend reserving enough of the sauce to cover and completely seal the top of the salmon and rice mix. I love that it's really healthy too. Thanks for posting this FarahC!
