"This salmon is spectacular! I would give it 10 stars if I could."
-Mama's Kitchen (Hope)
"Oh my goodness! This salmon is so deliciously awesome! My salmon was not quite a pound so I cut the butter in half but kept the rest of the seasonings the same. It made for extremely flavorful fish while still allowing for the salmon to be the star."
-KLBoyle

"This was my first attempt to cook grilled salmon and oh, was I pleased with the results! It is an easy recipe to fix and even easier on the palate to eat. I really like ginger so I think next time I'll increase that particular ingredient."
-Rick Young
"Very tasty! I baked it for my Mom's birthday and she loved it! I added more garlic and dill and left out the cheese per suggestion, but for the most part I left the recipe as is. Absolutely fantastic."
-Dar Christiansen
"The family loved this! I realized after beginning the mixing ingredients process that I did not have cornmeal. I substituted panko for the cornmeal and we loved the crunch!"
-Mom.2.Three
"I can't always afford to keep real maple syrup stocked, so I gave this a go with butter-flavored, off-name-brand syrup and it came out terrific!"
-rustrose
"This recipe changed the way I think about cooking fish. I make this at least every other week. It's great exactly as written or you can experiment with different spices and sauces."
-Chef ChelseaBuns
"I usually make glaze and store it for when I need it. It takes a good 45 minutes to thicken balsamic vinegar into a glaze. Just pour any cheap bottle of balsamic vinegar into a stainless steel pot. Simmer it on low heat until it coats the spoon. Cool, then pour into a bottle and use whenever you need it."
-m12281515
"This recipe is absolutley delicious! The original recipe was great, the crunchy topping was so good."

"I doubled the recipe and used the leftovers to make salmon patties for dinner on the second night. It was great. Cooked up in no time and I like that there wasn't too much work involved."
-Jonathan Melendez
"I used a store-bought pie crust, and there was too much custard for it. If you do the same, cut the custard in half. Next time, I'll make my own crust and use my deeper pie dish. This is a keeper for sure."
-Cook In Northwest
"Strongly suggest removing skin from any fish cooked on a plank. The skin will not crisp, and will prevent the aromatics in the cedar from flavoring the fish, which is the main reason for using cedar."
-captaingiff
"Delicious! I paired it with salad and it's just right portion for an easy summer dinner. It's a keeper!"
-pollyw

-Dr. Jenny

-lotusflwr

-anna828
