We eat salmon 2-3 times a week cooked various ways - our favorite fish! Made salmon recipe exactly as written (did not make salad recipe). Both my husband and I felt the herb coating (particularly the bread crumbs) did nothing to enhance the flavor of the salmon, in fact it completely hid the wonderful taste of my fresh sockeye salmon. Will not make this again.
