Cilantro And Walnut Crusted Salmon Reviews

• Based on the flavors in this dish I knew I would like it, but, I was surprised how much my husband liked it It tasted just like a pesto, but, with a nice twist using cilantro. I did think the garlic was a little strong for our taste, so, next time I would only use 2-3 average sized cloves. Thanks for the recipe

• ??

• I happened upon this recipe by accident when, out of interest, I did a search for salmon and walnuts. This is a really lovely recipe. The only change I made was to add a bit of lime juice to the spread and extra garlic. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. Its a keeper for me.

• Cooked it in the clay pot and it was delicious. The only thing I changed was to use olive oil instead of butter. Served with rice blend and salad.

• Delicious and easy to prepare. I baked for 15 minutes and that was enough time. Hubby would have liked more spice

• I made this for company on short notice and it turned out wonderful The only change I made was the nuts; I used pistachios instead of walnuts because I didnt have any. I broiled them for about one minute before serving and it added a little crunch to it. This recipe is a keeper

• This was delicious. My mother-in-law said this was the best salmon dish shes ever tasted. Next time, I will use fresh cilantro as the recipe calls for (I used dried).A week later, I made this again, and again it was superb I used fresh cilantro this time, and what a difference it made

• I used a 1.92 lb coho fillet for 4 people with only 3 cloves of garlic as another reviewer recommended. All four of us are serious foodies and like to cook. This easy entre was outstanding. We will use this again.

• This was a huge hit at my house I didnt bother with the food processor, I just chopped by hand and the chunky texture was nice. I put it under the broiler for a minute at the end to crisp the topping. Great recipe

• Turned out Yummy Hubby even liked it. I didnt have cilantro so I used parsley but I cant wait to make this again and try with that instead.

• My family doesnt like cilantro, but they love this
