Overall, this was a good recipe. The salmon was cooked well and the sauce was tasty. However, I think I would have preferred a different method of cooking the salmon. I might try grilling it next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sauce with more flavor. The salmon itself was cooked well, but it needed something more to make it really shine.
