Notes
Most of my family loves salmon, and even those who don't request it for dinner on a regular basis don't complain when it is on the weekly meal plan. So this was easily voted a keeper, and it is a quick recipe that you can absolutely throw together on a busy weeknight. What truly solidified it's keeper status, however, was the fact that I served it to a friend who was visiting for dinner. He enjoyed it so much that he emailed and asked for the recipe, and in the same message he admitted to not really enjoying salmon! Now he wants to cook this recipe and introduce it to his family! Well that sounds deserving of keeper status for sure!
