A very easy recipe to do. Good tasting, too. Can be served with rice or baked potatoes or eaten by itself. If desired, potatoes can be baked during baking time.

Amazing!! made a few changes to the recipe of my own. I used 2 tomatoes 3 small red onions and fresh mushrooms. I baked at 400 for 40 mins I followed the advice of tinfoil and covering it while it baked but next time (and there definately WILL be a next time) I will cook uncovered for the last 10 minutes to let some of the moisture evaporate. 5 stars as far as my company was concerned!

Absolutely no way should you ever cook salmon this long - an hour just killed it and it was just grainy and dried out. I'd cook this for 20-25minutes and no more - it keeps cooking for a few minutes after cooking and slightly pink in the centre = a soft and juicy piece of perfectly cooked salmon. Read More

I cooked this twice. The first time I followed the original recipe and I thought it was good. However second time I followed some of the reviews and shortened the baking time and I have to say what an improvement. I think cooking it for an hour causes the salmon to lose its flavor a bit. Read More

why salmon needs to be baked for so long time? 30 to 40 minues should be enough. Read More

The cooking time is much too long. Another spice that should be added is dill. Dill wakes up fish like a train whistle at midnight. Read More

Recipe for Salmon is delicious and I have used the same ingredients on TALAPIA. The 40 minutes works having the salmon steak cooked thouroughly. Adjust time if a "THIN" piece.Try adding green peppers and a dash of dill...spray a little bit of olive oil and lemon juice..MMMMMM GOOD for sure Read More
