This is really, really good! It was ,quick and scrumptious. I'll probably always use this recipe to prepare salmon fillets. Thanks so much for sharing.

Very good the sauce was perfect in taste. I did add a teaspoon of corn starch mixed with a little white wine to thicken it. You may need to cook the salmon about 6 min per side.

***** I am only able to rate the sauce ~ The sauce is a glorious 5 stars! I had begun a different recipe when I discovered I did not have one of the main ingredients, so immediately went searching for another recipe for salmon. I used this recipe for the sauce, doubling it (it is excellent!). I hope to make the rest of this recipe so I will be able to give it the proper credit due : ) Loved it! Will definitely make again. Thanks, Sharon, for saving our supper!
