About

This recipe is so simple, but it’s in this book because it’s a staple in our home and everyone loves it, kids included. The herbs and panko give the delicate salmon great flavour and crunch, and you will never look at potato salad the same way again.

I bake this salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and that is exactly how I serve it. Engage “wow” factor.

“When my children leave the ‘nest,’ they will know how to make this blindfolded.”
