Very easy recipe for when you’re tired from work. My husband enjoyed it (with extra parmesan of course.) I rarely like when I make salmon, so I’m glad I now have a salmon recipe in my arsenal now!
Jenna says
Every oven is different Cora. They don't all cook the same. Thanks.
Cora says
It was very good - same as Carol, I needed to bake mine for over 30 minutes. It might have been the thickness of the salmon but it was not even close to done at 15 minutes. Great recipe.
Carol says
Yummy but at 15 minutes the salmon was cold, another 15 minutes did the trick.
