    I cooked 6 portions thinking I would have it to eat on for several days, wrong! My middle son left me one portion once he found it in the frig. It will be a regular at our house. - 2/10/09

    I managed to make this my first time ever cooking salmon. I paired it with my own concoction of steamed apples, walnuts and cherries, then threw it all into a pot and drizzled the maple syrup mixture over everything. LOVE! - 5/21/09
