    This was my first You On A Diet recipe and it is a real winner!! The book gives you a whole half cup of rice and fillet, I believe, but this is a great meal! - 9/20/10

    The rice was great! I used white long grain minute rice instead and only took a few minutes. The salmon was bland, maybe overnight marinade or stronger spices next time. I made my dinner with baked southwest style beans. Overall really good dinner! - 1/11/13

    The salmon was subtlety sweet and flavorful with a distinct Asian taste. Definitely a keeper recipe! The rice pilaf was bland. I will add minced garlic next time. - 5/23/11

    The salmon was wonderful!!! Asian salmon was full of flavor and easy to cook on the grill. The rice was a little bland, I added some all-purpose seasoning to zest it up a bit. Great dish for the whole family. Thanks! - 1/23/08

    My husband even liked this one! Very tasty.
    You could also use cilantro instead of parsley and I added green peppers too. - 8/4/07
