I loved the salmon, but jury's still out on the squash. My bf absolutely devoured it though giving it an instant 5-star rating. I made exactly as directed,(cooked squash in microwave, cut in half lengthwise, placed in dish and covered with plastic wrap for 10 min.) I would make this salmon again but I'm not sure about the squash.
