Reviews
“Delicious and easy! Our sun dried tomatoes were expired, so I discarded them and made the dish without them.Even so, it was delicious!”
“Really enjoyed this. We loved the tomato sauce and the poaching the salmon. Thanks!”
“Loved the poached part of this recipe.Made it with steelhead trout and used canned tomatoes rather than out-of-season fresh and it was terrific.Delicous no-brainer.”
“This is a really delicious, Mirj! This is a very easy recipe which provides excellent results.I did used canned stewed tomatoes instead of fresh, which did work very well, which was my only substitution. Otherwise, I made as directed.Thanks for the great supper, Mirj!”
