A truly wonderful recipe! I roasted some broccoli right on the same baking sheet and had a glass of white with this delicious salmon. I loved cooking it in the foil, easy serve and clean-up. Tomorrow it will top my salad….can’t wait! My new go to salmon recipe….thank you!
The salmon recipe was so good, one of the best I’ve ever had. I substituted lemon juice for lime. I will definitely make it again! Thanks

This was amazing. I never follow a recipe to the t but I decided to give it a try. I made 3lbs of salmon with this and before my sides were finished all of the salmon was gone! This is going into my weekly fold.
