I tested this recipe on my family the night my mom arrived from Philly for her annual Israel summer visit. Two ladies and five kids ka”h polished off this 2 pound side of salmon in a blink. Any recipe that has my kids eating and loving heart-healthy fish is a year- round winner.

Thanks so much for this recipe. I live in Cleveland (hopefully one day to be neighbors in RBS) and sell salmon to the community. The ladies are always asking me for yummy recipes. I am going to make copies and hand this out at my next sale. Also I met your mom in Nov in Philly. My husband and I did our Becoming Divine marital shabbaton and seminar there. She came to one of our lectures and I was so excited to meet her as I am a huge fan and have been watching your videos for many years now. Much continued hatzlacha and thank you so much for posting your series on making aliya. For now I have to live vicariously through you but b’esras Hashem one day we will get back home.
