Sounds good, but I am not sure about the garlic and rosemary with salmon. I
really like salmon and usually find that it can usually stand pretty much on
its own without a lot of help other than salt and pepper, maybe a little
fresh dill weed.
One of my favourites for salmon is to bake it in phyllo. You need four
half sheets of phyllo per salmon fillet. Brush each sheet with melted
butter and sprinkle a few sesame seeds on them. Then place the salmon
portion on the middle of the top sheet and sprinkle with a little salt and
pepper, about 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, some minced onion, a little fresh
dill weed and a tablespoon of orange juice. Wrap the phyllo over the top,
brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and back in a 425 oven
about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
