Fine but nothing special.

The topping on the fish tasted great. Hubby didn't love the cream sauce it is served with as much as other salmon sauces we've made.

Really good and so easy! We had it with coconut rice and steamed snap peas. The sauce was a nice touch and would work well with other fish too. Will make again.

The garam masala is a great idea. It turns a simple dish into a simply delicious dish. I served it with brown jasmine rice and sauteed asparagus.

Excellent, but I recommend doubling the garam masala.

Very quick recipe to make with lots of flavor! Served over rice and steam-in-the-bag green beans.
