    Delicious Salmon recipe and definitely a new family favorite, thank you!
    Quick question: could this recipe be made with a different fish or do you think it only works well with salmon?

    Thank you for the recipe! It took exactly 20 min for our 1.8 lb salmon that was still partially frozen. My husband kept complimenting it and said it’s the best cooked salmon dish he ever had- so moist, and perfect seasoning. He wanted to finish the whole thing! This is going to be our go to recipe from now on!

    Just want to say that this recipe is perfect. I wouldn’t (and didn’t) change a thing. It was delicious out of here the oven and i anticipate it will be delicious cold for lunch tomorrow. I am curious how it will do on the bbq but I bet it will be equally delicious. Thanks for an easy and yummy dinner.

    It was delicious and my husband described it as tangy! My three old loved it, although I gave her a piece with less garlic on it. Healthy and yummy
