I enjoyed this salmon and it was very simple to make. The shallots were excellent and my guests really enjoyed their meal. I thought that it needed something to spice it again as I thought as well as did some other people that the shallots outshined the salmon!! If you buy a cheaper type of salmon for this recipe I do not think that it would turn out as good.
