    Really really good! The flavor was great and it was very easy! I added lemon juice after baking, and agree with the other comments that you don't have to add as much bread crumbs if you don't want to. YUMMY! - 12/8/08

    Thanks for your comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Sometimes the salmon fillets come in different sizes, the amount of crumbs will depend on the fillet size.

    This was very good. I used lemon pepper to had extra flavor. - 8/16/09

    what other spices would you use? I've never fixed salmon but I want to try it and this looks like the best recipe. - 11/14/08

    You could try dillweed, basil and I'm told (although I haven't tried it) that rosemary is nice with fish. You could also sprinkle it with another juice or balsamic vinegar for a different taste.

    Made this tonight and my bf and I absolutely loved it. Loads of flavor for little calories! We had it with brown rice and mixed veggies. We'll definitely make this again. It was delicious and extremely easy to make. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us! - 1/26/10

    I could have used less bread crumbs, but overall the dish was flavorful. I added lemon after baking as well and it was very delicious! - 11/11/08

    This recipe is a keeper! Only change I made is that I drizzled a bit of olive oil in the processor instead of using the Canola spray. My husband and I both loved it - YUM!!! - 1/18/10

    Salmon. SALMON! How I love thee. Let me count the ways; Salmon cakes, Salmon patties, Salmon salad, grilled Salmon, broiled Salmon, Salmon grilled on a mesquite plank and baked Salmon. Now I've tried another Salmon recipe and it is wonderful! Thank you for this recipe. - 12/20/09

    This was very good. I made it with what I had on hand, so I did a couple of exchanges and am sure it would have been better if I'd had all the right ingredients. I'll definitely try it again. My kids really liked it! - 11/5/09

    I made this tonight. I used fresh thyme instead of chives, and Panko. It was okay, but maybe I'll try other herbs. My mom felt that it tasted too fishy, so she wasn't happy. I liked the Panko, but dad thought it was too crunchy. I'll try regular breadcrumbs next time. - 9/11/09

    Anyone know how Panko crumbs might work? Don't they get crunchier? This does sound good and a different spin on plain fish. - 7/23/08

    I haven't tried it with panko, but they're breadcrumbs, so I would think that it would work.

    Very good. I left out the bread crumbs, but put my husband's portion on a whole wheat sandwich roll with some dill mayonnaise. I ate mine without bread with steamed asparagus. A 3 oz. portion filled me along with the asparagus. - 1/28/10

    looks delicious will try it for tonight's dinner, unfortunately i'll have it alone though as my husband works late - 1/26/10

    This sounds easy....must try the lemon juice and parchment paper.
    I usually use an all purpose seasoning and olive oil and let it soak overnight and bake for 15 mins. I must give this a try probably with italian seasoned breadcrumbs mixed wth parmasean cheese. Either way, it sounds yummy!!!! - 1/8/10

    I thought this was very flavorful and did not have that 'fishy' taste that salmon often has. I used Panko breadcrumbs mixed with onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasonings. Even my dad who doesn't eat salmon liked it! - 12/14/09

    This was pretty good, everyone enjoyed it. I will make it again, may add some dill to it though.
    Thanks for the recipe :) - 11/24/09

    This sounds fabulous! I will definitely be preparing this soon. Have you ever tried it with Talapia? Just wondering. - 7/6/08

    Reply from FLOWERDALEJEWEL (7/13/08)
    I haven't as we don't get Tilapia here in Australia, but I would imagine it would work for any semi to firm fish. You can also add different herbs etc that you like to change the flavour and make it more to your liking.

    This is a great quick and easy recipe. I varied it a little and use 1/4cup bread crumbs mixed with 3/4 cup(salt free)crushed almond slivers. IT WAS AMAZING!!! thank you so much for posting. - 3/10/10

    How about chicken instead of fish? Can that be done? - 1/26/10

    Reply from FLOWERDALEJEWEL (1/26/10)
    It would be worth a try!! I reckon recipes should not be carved in stone, so I'd give it a go, I think you'd have to make sure the chicken was a uniform size, but other than that why not!!

    I love salmon and usually grill it. I was looking for a recipe that I can make in the oven. I can't wait to try it. - 1/26/10
