Liked the flavors ok, but a little sweet, with salmon already being a sweet fish. Also, you definitely want to switch to broil with a few minutes left. Breading was fairly moist and spongy. Broiled low temp (450) for as long as I dared to not overcook the salmon. That got it crisped on top, but it was still a little soggy. Skipped the salad, had some asparagus we needed to use.
0 HelpfulI think next time for the vegetarian version with mushrooms we plan to add a bit of parmesan cheese. Other than that it was very yummy!
0 HelpfulReally liked the salmon and queso fresco (who knew)! Didn't really notice the taste of the breading too much though and was not super impressed by the dressing, but over all good.
0 HelpfulOne of our favorites!! Everything was amazing. Used goat cheese for the salad instead because I had it on hand.
