      We tried this recipe last night and I can say it is not a favorite. I have loved the other Julia's album recipes but this one missed the boat. The parmesan over powered the salmon. I only used 2 cloves of garlic and that was too much. I will try other recipes but this one will not be a keeper for me. Thanks for all the recipes you share.

      Loved the salmon and asparagus. Delicious! What would you serve with it? We had a white and wild rice mix, but it was a little dry by itself. It was missing a sauce. Any ideas?

        Steffi, I am glad you loved this recipe - thank you for the feedback! ❤️ For an easy side, I recommend store-bought ravioli with some kind of garlic butter sauce. And, I also recommend these 2 recipes of mine that will go great as side dish to salmon:

        20-Minute Meatless Spinach Gnocchi (lots of great reviews!):

      I made this tonight on my **via diet and slightly altered (less parmesan) to stay in the guidelines but other than that it was made exactly like your recipe. It was sooo delicious! My husband who is not on the diet also loved it. Thanks for sharing!! I need quick, easy recipes for week nights. I don’t have time or bandwidth for complicated or time consuming. It was just what I needed! Will be looking for more to try!
