Awesome taste
This went together very quickly and was tasty. I used chicken broth instead of water and a little bit of siracha. It does need the cilantro and lemon juice so don’t skip that. And for goodness sake don’t overcook it. Five minutes is all it needs.
Terrible. If I could I would only give it NO stars.
If you like the taste of canned soggy salmon this is for you.

The timing/temp is WAYYYY off, the broccoli on the bottom cooked too fast and turned to mush while the rest was flavorless and too crispy on top. (At 15 mins in the salmon was just starting to cook!! The salmon at 20 mins had absorbed too much flavoring, half raw. It went in the oven to finish, ruined.
DH is coming home from a hard day at work to a supposedly fantastic meal… Poor guy!!
I’ve been trying all sorts of salmon recipes from this site to convert my husband to eat fish, especially salmon, so this sounded interesting. We both found this recipe pretty boring. It is very healthy but not enough layers of flavor for our palate.
Delicious! Easy and fast. I wasn’t sure about the black beans at first but it all worked! I made some easy fried rice to go with it. This is my new favorite recipe. And I LOVE it when food network includes the nutritional information- thanks! I wish every recipe had that.
I love a minimalist approach to good food. This is right there. I followed the recipe as written the first time; used mahi mahi the next and increase the hoisin and water; kicked up the heat. Very nice! Will definitely do it again. Thanks.
It looked deceivingly bland and boring, but it was delicious! A surprise dish I will make again! thanks for the recipe!
A healthy, tasty and very easy to make dish. Served it over brown rice. The salmon took a few minutes longer to bake. But what’s a couple of minutes mores when it’s only taking 6 minutes? Will be making this dish again and again!
This was amazing! I drizzled the salmon with a bit of blood orange olive oil before cooking, topped with black sesame seeds and cilantro! Super easy,super tasty, and beautiful!
