"This really simple dish is delicious because coriander complements the flavor of salmon so well. The salmon cooks in its own juices. Thanks to cookswares.com for the recipe"

- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Very easy and fast. Low in fat but full of flavor. I made it with a bit of white wine and shrimp and it was a hit! -
I am afraid to leave a rating on this, for I do not like to give "lower" ones (under 4!)-- I made this tonight for dinner and I was very excited that it would be easy to prepare, and fast to cook. Well, it didn't have very much flavor- perhaps I cooked it too long? Or maybe the seasonings were old? I didn't taste any lemon...Or, maybe it just wasn't the right day for salmon! I hope to make this again soon-- but until then, I would give it a 3 and 1/2. Thanks! -
This recipe was fantastically easy and very tasty. Clean up was a breeze! Made no modifications and it was superb. Adding this one to my recipe collection!

This was good and a good start for my first time cooking salmon. Very simple! I'll definitely add more corriander next time and I'm not quite sure where the bay leaf was supposed to come in, but I skipped it because I don't like bay leaves And, I'm not sure why the nutrition facts say 375, because the way I add it up, it was only somewhere around 125 calories. Maybe I have different salmon, but I don't know. Thanks for posting this! Will be trying it again soon! -
Superb Flavor and texture! This is now my favorite salmon. I made a few changes as I didn't have ground coriander (substituted 1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro). I marinated the salmon (in the parchment paper) in the juice of 1 small squeezed lemon, 2 tsp olive oil, and topped with the herbs, for about 2 hours. Baked it for 18 minutes, but it needed two minutes more because my fish might have been thicker. I did not use the bay leaf as I wasn't sure what to do with it (under or over?). Not to worry--it doesn't need it! This recipe will make me eat more fish--it is scrumptious, & easy. Served it with baked broccoli, baked wild rice mix, and baked apples (everything baked at the same time, other items for 30 minutes). Thanks, Tish, for sharing.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
