Very tasty recipe. And it is so easy to prepare, yet it tastes as though a lot more work went into it. I needed almost twice the amount of baking time than the specified 8-10 minutes though, which I credit my quirky oven for that minor issue. If you like salmon, you really must try this recipe.

This was a great meal for a busy weeknight. This was extremely easy to prep, did not take long to cook, and was nice and flavorful. We served with roasted asparagus and zucchini. Thanks!

Really nice recipe, the salmon is perfectly prepared. One thing I would not add again, though, is the crushed red peppers. Perhaps some dill or tarragon would fit better.

DH picked this recipe and then purred while eating it. In our household, there is no such thing as too much garlic or red pepper flakes not fitting in. I made the full amount of parsley mixture for our 2 wild Alaskan salmon fillets, so I could tell when it was done by the bubbling of the sauce. I served this with steamed asparagus and coconut rice with mango. Made for 2014 Culinary Quest for the Merry Maids of Mayhem.

I didn't used to be a big fan of a salmon, but since I've been living on the West Coast and can find fresh salmon readily available (which to me makes a big difference in the taste) I've really started to become fond of it and have been trying to cook it more often as it is quite healthy. I'm always looking for good recipes, and this one is amazing! As other reviewers mentioned, this is quick and easy though certainly doesn't taste like that. I prepared everything as in the recipe, except I used just a tad less of the red pepper flakes as I didn't want it to end up too spicy and used regular chicken broth instead of low sodium as that is what I had on hand. I used Clos du Bois Chardonnay and as the fresh salmon fillets that I had were pretty thick I ended up cooking this for about 20 minutes in the oven. I served this with Parmesan orzo and asparagus and this was definitely a hit with my friends. I will be making this regularly - thanks for posting!
