I went to the Calgary Tower for dinner (which is one of those restaurants you can't walk out of without dropping $35-50 a plate) and had a similar entree, so I was looking for a copy recipe of this meal. This was perfect, tasted just like it, and very little prep/bake time! The sauce is delicious and really makes this meal. I received many compliments on this dish, from people that don't even like salmon. I added more sour cream because I wanted more sauce. This recipe is a keeper, and will look like you spent hours cooking, thank you so much for sharing it.
