We didn't like this. We love salmon, we love champagne, just not together. I followed directions exactly and found that it was too much of the same strange flavor and got it got very boring. I feel this might be good in tiny amounts on crackers with cream cheese and chives as an appetizer for guests? -
Easy and elegant! I used a salmon filet. Didn’t use capers but might try them for more flavor. I didn’t like the honey mustard topping. It reminded me too much of eating a turkey sandwich. Personal preference. I’ll probably look for something else to top it with. My husband thought it was perfect. We like salmon, so we will be making this again.

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
