Made this with broccoli the other day. Delicious!
Yes, this goes great with broccoli! Excellent substitution!
Do you think broccoli or Brussels sprouts would work? Would they cook enough?
I haven’t made this yet, but I am looking forward to it. I am curious (and hesitant) about the cheese on fish. Is this something that is all in my head? Do people pair the two a lot? Just curious
A new favorite at our house! So easy.
My family loved this!
I am happy to hear that! 🙂
37 grams of fat.. is that considered a lot.?
I am here from your trout recipe.
You should mention on this page that this also works for trout.
Glad you enjoyed the trout recipe! Yes, this salmon recipe will work well with trout, too!
Have you ever tried a different cheese? I was thinking of trying Pepper jack.
I think this recipe is suitable for many kinds of cheeses, including the Pepper Jack.
