    “This really simple dish is delicious because coriander complements the flavor of salmon so well. The salmon cooks in its own juices. Thanks to cookswares.com for the recipe”

    • Reviews

  • “Very easy and fast.Low in fat but full of flavor.I made it with a bit of white wine and shrimp and it was a hit!”

  • “I am afraid to leave a rating on this, for I do not like to give “lower” ones (under 4!)– I made this tonight for dinner and I was very excited that it would be easy to prepare, and fast to cook. Well, it didn’t have very much flavor- perhaps I cooked it too long? Or maybe the seasonings were old? I didn’t taste any lemon…Or, maybe it just wasn’t the right day for salmon! I hope to make this again soon– but until then, I would give it a 3 and 1/2. Thanks!”

  • “This recipe was fantastically easy and very tasty. Clean up was a breeze! Made no modifications and it was superb. Adding this one to my recipe collection!”

  • “This was good and a good start for my first time cooking salmon.Very simple!I’ll definitely add more corriander next time and I’m not quite sure where the bay leaf was supposed to come in, but I skipped it because I don’t like bay leavesAnd, I’m not sure why the nutrition facts say 375, because the way I add it up, it was only somewhere around 125 calories.Maybe I have different salmon, but I don’t know.Thanks for posting this!Will be trying it again soon!”

  • “Superb Flavor and texture!This is now my favorite salmon.I made a few changes as I didn’t have ground coriander (substituted 1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro).I marinated the salmon (in the parchment paper) in the juice of 1 small squeezed lemon, 2 tsp olive oil, and topped with the herbs, for about 2 hours.Baked it for 18 minutes, but it needed two minutes more because my fish might have been thicker.I did not use the bay leaf as I wasn’t sure what to do with it (under or over?).Not to worry–it doesn’t need it!This recipe will make me eat more fish–it is scrumptious, & easy.Served it with baked broccoli, baked wild rice mix, and baked apples (everything baked at the same time, other items for 30 minutes).Thanks, Tish, for sharing.”

  • “We had a LOVELY fillet of WILD ALASKAN salmon, brought back by a friend, frozen on the spot !This was very tasty, but I still prefer ONLY butter, dill, S&P.The taste of the meat is spectacular.”

  • “This is very easy and good, but next time I will use 1 teaspoon of coriander.I love the coriander and I wanted more!Quick, easy, and only 4 WW points…”
