If you’ve always thought of sage with turkey, try it with salmon for a little taste of heaven. We serve this with rice, salad and sauteed green beans. —Nicole Raskopf, Beacon, New York

I made this just like the recipe stated, except to decrease the salt. It was perfect. I really liked the slight crust the oven put on the rub. I will definitely be making this again. The aroma also attracted my cat! lol

Wonderful flavor! I too skipped the oven top directions and just put it directly into a baking pan sprayed with oil flavored Pam and just bake 15 min or until fish flakes.

Two thumbs up! (And a paw -- the cat liked it, too.) I prepared the topping as directed (except for decreasing the salt and pepper by half), skipped the stovetop step, and baked two skinless fillets at 275 degrees for 13 minutes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. This recipe goes in my "keeper" file.To expand this delicious recipe to a one-pan meal for two, I trim 3/4 lb. of fresh asparagus, add 10-12 halved grape tomatoes, and toss them with salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I put them on the parchment and bake them 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears, before adding the salmon.
