This updated French bistro dish makes a simple dinner any night of the week. You might want to consider doubling the batch and using the remaining salmon in a tossed salad the next day.

The salmon recipe is great. However I have made for several years a modified version and find it healthier. I use a tablespoon or two of plain yogurt mixed with the mustard. I also add garlic powder dried dillweed and bake for 20 minutes. A dash of Old Bay can also be added before baking. It is a favorite. Leftovers can be added to a salad for another meal. Read More

I tried a variation of this recipe: instead of sour cream I used honey and I add a bit of Thyme. I was a big hit! Cristina Edwards CO Read More

So quick and easy! The fish was juicy and tender under its topping and mustard is a good flavor complement for salmon. Our dinner guest asked for the recipe. Tina Bellingham WA Read More
