Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This came together very quickly, which was great on a night we were running behind. The cucumbers came out quite sharp with all the vinegar, but I kind of like the pickliness. I left off the crispy shallots because I didn't feel like making them. The dish was still very nice, but would have been better with them. Next time!

    Very good and very easy to make. Forgot the shallots, but loved the dish anyway. Next time, I'd sprinkle the cilantro over the entire dish and not concentrate it in the cucumber.

    Wow, this salmon is incredible. We also skipped the crispy shallots since they aren’t in line with my current dietary restrictions, but I didn’t feel that we missed out by omitting them.

    We didn't make the cucumbers, only the salmon. The fish was easy and delicious, an excellent taste-to-effort ratio. All pantry ingredients as well. Will repeat.

    Great - I would add a tad more sugar to the cukes.

    As others have noted, this is very flavourful and quite easy to prepare. Family loved it.

    Absolutely delicious! There are multiple components, but each is quick to prepare. I served this bowl-style on a bed of brown rice, adding sauteed spinach, blanched snap peas, and diced avocado. There was a lot going on - next time I probably won't bother with the crispy shallots. The salmon was perfectly cooked with crispy skin.

    True to other reviews this is quick, easy with lots of flavor. Great to have such an easy alternative for a night of salmon.

  • twoyolks on January 31, 2018

    The salmon sauce is quite flavorful. While the flavor is strong, it doesn't overpower the salmon.

  • bwhip on January 23, 2018

    It's always great to find a simple, easy weeknight recipe that turns out to be a complete flavor bomb of goodness. It's easy to see why the author said she still enjoys having this about once every week after all these years. Quick, easy, and really delicious.
