A real favorite

I've had this book since shortly after its release in 1987 - long before the low-carb craze, so having that particular recipe isn't something I'd expect. It's one of only a handful of cookbooks that have been in my library that long that I still use on a regular basis. The salmon mousse and sauteed salmon cakes are real favorites - great ways to use leftover salmon in ways that don't taste like "left-overs."

Great, but missing a great recipe

I'm on the Atkins diet, and I'd gotten this book in the hopes that it would contain a recipe for Lemon Basil Salmon. I'd been dying for dish this since I'd tasted it at Pizzeria Uno (I know -- you'd think it's just a pizza joint, but it's really got a lot of stuff). It's on their low-carb menu (7 net carbs!) and it's fantastic -- just grilled salmon with some lemon, basil and thyme served with broccoli and tasty low-carb smashed! Unfortunately, it was missing this recipe. Don't get me wrong, Atkins folks -- there are plenty of fantastic and easy-to-make recipes here for healthy salmon dishes. But for the perfect Lemon Basil Salmon, looks like I'll have to head back to Pizzeria Uno.
