I have never received as many compliments from a recipe than I have from this dish. If I had to rank my recipes, this would definitely make it to the top 3. I made this salmon for a dinner party I threw, and received multiple rave reviews the following day. If you don't like salmon, I guarantee that you will now. Not only is this delicious and simple to prepare, but it is packed with healthy Omega 3s that contributes to a heart healthy diet. Pair this with my roasted asparagus to make a truly unforgettable, gourmet meal.
