MY husband discovered this recipe on an Internet website in 1995. The salmon bakes up tender and moist and the blended ingredients enhance the flavor of this delicious entrée.

My shortcut was to use Mrs. Dash Garlic/Herb seasoning instead of baking the garlic bulbs. So very good! Will be adding this one to my 'regulars' list of recipes!
