Wow! This was quick, easy, and delicious. I followed the recipe exactly except I did a half portion, and I didn’t have any green onions on hand so I sauteed some yellow onion and used that. It was quite tasty. My shredded cheese was a Colby/Monterey Jack mix, and though it looked and tasted great, it was a mess to get out of the foil and serve. Next time I make this dish I’m going to follow Night Owl’s recommendation and use a harder, less melty Italian cheese.
Cheese totally ruined it. I love both cheese and salmon but will never combine them again Yuck!
My daughter loved it but she loves anything salmon. She just missed her crispy salmon skin. Next time I will remove the skin and find a way to crisp it up separately
Used Swiss instead of cheddar cheese. Didn’t use onions Was great with the spices and Swiss cheese.
Very simple and very tasty. I will make it again.
Enjoyed this very much. I usually make same 2 boring recipes so decided to look for something new. Hubby loved it. I did add a blend of mozzarella and cheddar. Perfect blend for this recipe and it comes shredded in a bag! Thought cheddar would be too much for the fish.
Loved it…. i seasoned my salmon over night with garlic powder, onion powder,black pepper, lemon herd. Used extra sharp white cheddar cheese. I placed the salmon on asparagus. Family loved it !!!
This was great. I used Italian cheese instead of the cheddar and it was great! never had cheese on salmon. Loved it
We used pepper jack for cheese. My stepdaughter had never tried salmon before and she liked it enough to finish her piece 🙂 I will definitely make this again!
The flavor was ok but didn’t complement the salmon. The cheese toned down the flavor of the salmon. I would use this recipe if I had salmon that wasn’t that fresh (although still edible of course) as a flavor changer. Good for those who aren’t big salmon fans too.
My wife and I loved this dish but we followed some of the other reviewers’ suggestions by not using cheddar cheese and onions. Instead I made a mixture of Mediterranean spiced soft goat cheese, dill, chopped walnuts, 1 clove diced garlic and a tsp of EVOO. I put the mixture on top in the last five minutes just like the recipe stated and it was delicious. I also followed another reviewer’s suggestion of putting the fish on a bed of veggies, great idea but I wouldn’t use asparagus again, they came out way overcooked. Green beans under the fish came out perfectly. We are absolutely making this dish again!
Just tried this recipe, and added my own minor twists to it. Easy and delicious. I added Garlic Pepper, Onion Powder, and Mrs. Dash to my spice mixture, and actually left off the onions. Nice combination that I will add to my repertoire.
I followed the directions when making this dish. It came out over-cooked and dry. If you are using small fillets, you might want to lower the temp. to 350 instead of 450. I will retry this recipe at a later time.
I, personally do not care for most fish, especially salmon due to it’s strong flavor. This was prepared for a large gathering last night and was a HIT among all (even those picky kidos). I stayed with the recipe only adding coconut milk on top while baking for creaminess. Highly Recommend.
A quick and easy dish that is very nice. Add a splash of lemon juice and wow it’s good.
My husband really love this recipe.
Very good, I am so bad at cooking fish, but this recipe was way easy and tasted great!!! Will make more fish and be healthier!!!
I doubled the green onions and added 2 diced roma tomatoes after I had cooked the salmon. Very easy, good flavor.
Followed the recipe almost exactly, just used fresh dill, added a 1Tbsp butter, and placed asparagus on the bottom of the foil. Delicious!
I really liked this recipe but my husband said it was a bit to fishy for him. I used white sharp cheddar and red onions because that is all I had on hand. I thought it was just slightly over done but they were small fillets, so I should have know. I would make this for myself again, but I don’t think my husband will want it again.
WOW! delicious! I was concerned about cooking that long at that temp. But it worked out just great. Our quantity of salmon was a little less than the recipe calls for. Otherwise the only adjustments we made was to use more garlic (3 cloves instead of 2) and more green onions & more cheese (the latter because others had recommended). Salmon flavor still came through in just the right balance of flavors.
