FANTASTIC. This is a great simple fresh recipe. As per the usual comment, I added a very small red hot chilli(seeds removed) to the marinade and it gave it a fantastic taste without being to hot and overpowering. Read More

This salmon turned out decent. I didn't have a food processor so I just mixed everything in a small bowl before rubbing it on. I'll be making this on days when I don't have much time to prepare food. Read More

Very tasty (if you LOVE garlic!) which we do. I only used 1/2 head garlic, it was about 12 cloves, and the whole pkg. of fresh dill just as called for (1 oz). I used fresh gound sea salt, and put some lemon juice and some sprinkles of brown sugar (about 1T. total) on the salmon first. Then I topped it with the dill-garlic paste, and let it sit at room temp about 1 hour. Baked @ 400* for 15-20 monutes. It was great. (I pitty the poor people I have to see tomorrow...garlic breath YIKES!!!) Read More

This was absolutely terrific-I will definitely make it again. I actually sealed ours in foil to marinate and cooked it that way in the oven. Made it with the Dill Sauce from this site-terrific combination! Read More

15 minutes was the perfect amount of time to bake this but it was stuck to the pan! But it tastes awesome if you are a garlic lover which I am. Probably should put some foil down next time...;) Didn't have any fresh dill so I used dill weed; if you do this you need to use more than you think otherwise you'll hardly taste it because the garlic will overpower it. But YUM! Read More

It was excellent. I used extra garlic because that's what my husband and I like. The salmon turned out great! I will definitely be making this again! Thanks! Read More

had to add some serious lemon zest but it was overall great! Not a HUGE salmon fan but enjoyed the spices that perked it up! Read More
