  Delicious recipe. I was out of lemons and substituted half an orange with the grated rind. Worked a treat!

  Once I tried this salmon recipe, I have only used this recipe.... 4 times in the last several weeks. I use the same amount of ingredients for 2 filets. My favorite is the Italian seasoning, but I've also tried herbs de Provence which are good. To me, the perfect time for me is 13 minutes @400F then 2 minutes broiling.

  This is a delicious salmon dish. I substituted garlic powder for minced garlic, otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Highly recommend.

  Simplicity at its best. Do not skip the Herbs de Provence. It is crucial for the best result.

  It is the best recipe for salmon and the only one I will use.

  This is the best of what a simple delicious meal should be. Easy staple ingredients, well put together. I've not tried the Italian herbs before, but along with the garlic, it just elevates the salmon to super delish. I recommend the broil for one minute to just finish it off.

  Shelly B, I'm grateful that you considered what I wrote important. I have all this info in a paper that I published in the Journal of Gastroenterology. 6 pages and you will find it far more useful for knowing the important details. I'm going to look for you on your Facebook Page to try and contact you just to send you my paper. Important enough that I give it out to anyone who will read it. If Tiffany sees this, she can send you my email address. You have my full name. Cheers!
