    This was a delicious recipe. Absolutely loved the vinaigrette. Served with couscous and asparagus, lovely spring meal.

    As others have noted, this is a wonderful recipe for salmon. I kept the herb topping the same but only used 1.2 lbs salmon filet for 2 people with enough leftover for 1 lunch. I reduced the vinaigrette to 1/3 of full recipe. The vinaigrette makes it special. I served my salmon with a wild rice blend and asparagus. Easy to put together the sides while the salmon was baking. Delicious.

    WOW- this was divine! The onion sauce makes it so don’t skimp! We made it for a dinner party and everyone really raved about it and asked for the onion sauce recipe.

    This is the best salmon recipe I know, perfect for a small dinner party because it’s delicious, easy and scaled for a small group. Whoever tries it always asks for the recipe.

    This was a huge hit with my family. My son, who usually doesn't like salmon, loved it, especially with the vinaigrette, because it had "so much flavor"! I was skeptical about the vinaigrette but it really makes this dish!

    This technique has changed the way I cook salmon. It is unbelievable how moist and flavourful the fish is when it is salt-baked. I have made this several times and agree that the skin is too salty to eat if the salt is finer. However my family tends not to eat the skin anyway. I also tried baking a whole fish on a bed of salt with a salt blanket. Muy Bueno! Wonderful technique! The vinaigrette is also very flavourful.
