    I decided to cook this one up today and it freaking rocks. The different combo of flavors make this a fantastic meal.

    OMG this is sooooo good. I did not have any lemons like I thought I did. Nor did I have any basil. What I did was used the zest from an orange, and used the kind of lemon juice in the little lemon-shaped thing. Then instead of basil I used rosemary and spinach and added a little nutmeg. It was so good.

    Thanks for the recipe. Was looking for a non-curry based coconut milk recipe for salmon. Turned out great! Very delicious. Used whole coconut milk instead of light.

    This was pretty tasty….much milder than I thought it would be. I think mushrooms would be a good addition…I’ll try that next time.

    16oz Salmon. Is this for 2 people or 4. Sounds like a lot for 2 people.
