A nice easy and tasty way to prepare salmon. Important to get pan VERY hot before searing! The accompanying vinaigrette is great (I used 2 kinds of parsley and a little spring onion as our one and only grocery store does not stock any fresh herbs!). Would prepare this recipe again. Thnx for posting, ninja. Adopted for Spring 2008 PAC.

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!!
I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes!
I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances.
