Simplicity is Best
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe appears simple (oil, salt, & pepper) but the flavor is amazing. Just make sure that you start with a great... quality coho fillet and you can't go wrong.Read more

Simple, Fast and Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I do not like fish, but my husband loves it. After watching the show I purchased a salmon fillet (thought it was wild, but it... was not) and followed the recipe. In less than 10 minutes I had a beautiful plate of salmon, lemon and salad! My husband thought it was excellent, and quite frankly some of the best salmon he has ever had! The expense certainly pays off in the convenience of the meal and the health benefits are a bonus. Well worth trying! Read more
