"The subtle blend of flavors from the vegetables complement, without detracting from, the salmon. One serving supplies almost 2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids."

I've made this recipe several times now & it always comes out good. Last time I made it I got involved on the phone, totally overcooked it & it was still really good,& not at all dry. this recipe also can be modified for one with no problems.

This turned out very pretty. The fish was moist and tender. Unfortunatly, my husband thought it was too "fishy", but my toddler liked it. I guess I won't be making this again, unless Dada's away for dinner.
