"Yet another recipe from my mother-in-law, who is probably the best cook that I personally know. This is, hands down, our favourite way to eat salmon in our house - and we eat a lot of it! The spice portion can be doubled and stored for later - I typically double or triple the recipe and store it in an airtight jar so that it is available whenever I want it."

This is an excellent recipe! Thank you for sharing. I added sea salt instead of table salt so it was a bit too salty. I will cut the salt in 1/2 next time.

Great recipe! My salmon comes out perfect evertime. I also used the seasoning for my scallops. They were amazing!

I added a teensy smidge of olive olive to the butter to reduce smoke. My idiot kitchen exhaust fan vents right back into the kitchen! But this is DYNAMITE!

Far too salty as is. Next time I will half or quarter the amount of salt specified. The rest of the spices were right on, but could see that it could be too hot for some.

I live in southern Alberta and am a paralegal for a mid-sized firm - I am the tongue-sticker-outer in the picture, the other girl is my best friend and my sister. I love to cook and will only bake occasionally. I would rather cook a five course meal than bake a cake. We eat a lot of ethnic food in our house - especially as the area we live in has few good restaurants - most are chain stores. I had some severe health problems in the past and ended up losing my large intestine - as a result I try to eat healthy, non-processed foods that don't aggravate my condition. The only foods I really can't eat are shrimp and bean sprouts. My two biggest passions would be camping and reading. The best is when I can be doing both at the same time! My boyfriend and I have been together for seven years and we have two wonderful, spoiled cats named Stew and Hummer.A note on ratings: I believe that one of the most valuable features on this site is the ratings system. I rate dishes according to how I honestly felt about them. If I didn't like someone's dish I will give it a one or two star and explain why. I am not out to hurt anyone's feelings (and won't have mine hurt in return) but I don't think that rating a recipe high even when it has inherent flaws helps anyone else on the site. Just my take on things, you can take it or leave it.<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
