Years ago, my friend Suzy had us over for dinner and served a salmon that my family loved. My kids went absolutely bonkers for it and begged me to get the recipe. Suzy generously shared it, and my kids have called it “Suzy’s Salmon” ever since. This dinner is always a hit with my family. It’s so good that I make extra salmon to have on hand for lunches the next day. It’s truly one of our favorite dinners.

My version is simpler than what we ate that night. This salmon is quick enough for a weeknight meal, and delicious enough for company. We serve this with rice and either broccoli or asparagus. Oh, and don’t skip the sauce. It makes the recipe.
