I have never made this recipe before. However, my husband and I love tin red salmon. I will be making this recipe soon. This recipe is taken from the "Company's Coming " " Timeless recipes for all occasions." It's a quick weekday supper or great for entertaining company with a nice green salad. Enjoy
