I adore Giada's recipes but this just didn't get if for me. The pureed peas were a gorgeous green with a very garlic flavor and the salmon perfectly cooked. The Bordetto was (as it should be just like soup on the bottom of the peas and salmon. Just weird plus the flavors just didn't knock me out. Three others loved it so it may have just been my palate that night.

Had this last night at a friend's house. OMG so delicious. I can not offer any variation to the receipe because it was served to me. But the presentation was fantastic - the flavors were fabulous - can't wait to make it myself. Thank you Giada for continuing to wow us with your receipes.

Very tasty! I agree with others who say don't be afraid of the mint--it is not overpowering and adds great flavor. Made a few adjustments per some others' reviews--used only 1 lemon and tried it with tilapia (because that's what I had--and it turned out great!

I loved this way of cooking the salmon. It made the outside have a fantastic sort of light crust. For the lemon sauce I used only one lemon for juice and no zest. I also used only one cup of chicken broth. This made plenty of sauce, had plenty of lemon flavor and was so delicious. I think it would have been too strong and too much liquid following her recipe exactly. The pea purée was just ok. You can't skimp on the olive oil in this at all or it will be too thick to purée properly and will be lumpy. The mint is almost unnoticed but important. I added more garlic and a little of the lemon sauce to it and it was much better. I made this first and left it at room temp for the little while it took to make the rest of the elements. I think it would have been too much of an unpleasant temperature contrast to refrigerate it. All in all, very good recipe but I think I'd skip the peas in future.

Incredible. As with most of Giada's recipes you really do need to use the real pecorino cheese. I prefer to use less of the lemon brodetto when serving this dish as it causes the pea puree to get too soupy. Don't be scared away by the mint, it is fabulous!

This recipe is good with many different fish, but you have to try it with Scallops. To die for!

Ok, I am reviewing this again. We had some of the brodetto & puree left over, so we made it with Halibut last night...it was even MORE delicious!! Love this. This will be a staple in our house.

I didn't love this. The mint overpowered the dish. Next time, I think I'll try different herbs.
