Introduction

The spice mixture is great on more than just the fish - try tossing it into roasting potatoes, sprinkling it onto steamed veggies or mixed into yogurt to marinate chicken! This recipe makes roughly 6 tbsp of the blended spice, so you'll have extra to keep around! The salmon dish itself I made after being inspired by an almost $30 dish at a Niagara-on-the-Lake restaurant, and I think it tastes BETTER!

    Very Good
    I really liked it! My 7 year old son, mom and brother liked it too. But my husband didn't like the flavor and my 3 year old said it was too spicy. I cooked it just as written. - 2/7/11
