"I made this for an easy and quick healthy meal. Based on reviews about being bland, I used Cajun seasonings on half of one fillet, and lemon pepper on the other half. The second fillet was made according to the recipe. I used chicken broth because I was without wine. My fish was done perfectly after 15 minutes at 425. All 3 versions were good, but Cajun seasoning was declared the favorite. Use this recipe for the method and personalize it with your favorite seasoning. This recipe is a keeper.
Lynne TOH Volunteer Food Editor""I used Rosemary instead of tarragon and added salt before brushing surface with softened butter.
It came out well. I will be making this again.""It came out so moist and it is so easy, loved this recipe."
"Used lemon pepper, so moist and delicious. Also tried sliced raw onions and lemon on the side w tarter sauce. Was delicious too."
"tried it with chicken stock was great will do it this way often am going to try it with other types of fish keep you apprised"
"easy to prepare. Always comes out moist and flaky!"
"I agree with some of the reviewers below--as written, the dish was a tad bland. To make it more to our liking, I added BOTH the chicken broth and white wine so the sauce would cover the fish as it cooks in order to add more flavor. I used 1/2 cup of each the wine and broth. I always season fish with lemon pepper before it gets another layer of seasoning, crumbs, etc. I have served it with Taste of Home "Lemon LInguine" and it made a nice pairing."
"This was very bland. If I ever make it again, I'd have to add a lot more seasoning. I used chicken broth & olive oil instead of butter."
"I made this because my sister was in town. I followed the recipe and used the chicken broth which I have never done before, it worked great, very tender and juicy. I added just a pinch of garlic because I pretty much love garlic on anything. I might add a few more of my favorite spices next time to give it more flavor, but all in all very tasty! I paired it with steamed broccoli and cauliflower and a Caesar salad."
"I cooked my super thick fillets for 23 minutes and enjoyed two of the most moist, melt-in-your mouth pieces of salmon I've ever prepared (or eaten!) in my life. Just keep an eye on your oven to prevent over-cooking. I can't believe how delish they turned out! Will definitely be making this recipe again very soon :)"
