  1. Used this recipe for Mahi Mahi and cooked the fish over cauliflower instead of carrots. What a flavor complement! Served with Charddonay, Yellow cherry tomato, fresh mozzerella, basil and pesto salad with balsamic and EVOO, and served with Candied sweet potato side dish. So happy I have left overs
     
  2. This was wonderful. I increased the amount of onion (I used red)and cream and I added some mustard to it. It tasted great with carrots underneath. Thanks a lot for this recipe!
     
  3. This was delicious! I used some dill and green onions. Was very rich and delightful. Will make again.
     
  4. Tasty and easy salmon dish! Would add more spices next time but loved the mix of sour cream with the lemon. Used a red onion and low-fat sour cream. Thanks Engrossed!
     
  5. This was good, I reduce the recipe by half and only used 2 salmon fillets, I made as written but I felt something was missing, mabey some mayonnaise mixed in with the sour cream and a little dill? the cooking time was no way near 45 minutes, thanks for sharing... Kitten:)
