Made exactly as directed only doubled the sauce. It is delicious! Only problem I had was the aspargus did not get done so next time, and their will be a next time, I will put the aspargus in the oven for 5 min. then top with salmon and cook for another 20. This is a very elegant way to serve salmon. I could see doing this for a dinner party, as it is very easy to do and comes together beautifully. Thank you for posting!
