Was just ok for me. I felt like it was lacking in flavor. Maybe just adding salt and pepper to the salmon like another reviewer suggested is the key.

Quick and onolicious! We love all types of fish and eat at least 2-3 times a week. Having a simple recipe like this is a time saver. Thanks for sharing.

Tried this salmon recipe tonight from my new taste of home magazine - turned out great - the honey and mustard cut the fishy taste - will definitely make again. Field Editor, Taste Of Home

Excellent recipe! Has a mild sweet flavor to it, goes great with corn. I made it with chopped pecans because I didn't have walnuts. Also used bread crumbs for the convenience. :)
