    "This recipe is from Anne Ford, of Palo Alto, California." You think Martha sits here and writes them all herself? Read next time.

    With that said, this recipe is awesome and the wine makes it. The kids loved it.

    This has become my go-to recipe for Salmon. Instead of using the lemon juice, I substitute a 1/4 cup orange juice. I also add a little cornstarch to the glaze so it thickens up a bit when cooking, making it more of a sauce. It's fantastic!

    I forgot to say that I didn't use wine and it was perfect.

    I tried this recipe and it's really delicious that I'm gonna make it more often, it's very easy, tasty and does's leave strong smell in the kitchen like the stove making recipies.
    Thank you Martha for sharing this recipe.

    This is really delicious. Quick, easy and I had most of the ingredients on hand. I substituted limes for lemons and served it with couscous. Yum! I also added some ginger ?

    This recipe is inedible for someone allergic to soy. It looks horrible with all that black pepper coving up the flavors of the fish. I give this dish a total thumbs down.

    This is my go-to salmon recipe. I love it. I always put it under the broiler for a few minutes after it's finished baking. It makes it a little crispier.

    Never felt compelled to comment until now. This is a GREAT recipe -- easy and delicious. Made it twice in one week. I subbed Cooking Rice Wine, and stopped the cooking at 15minutes. Perfect.

    Very easy recipe and my family enjoyed it! Served it with steamed rice and roasted asparagus. Will make again!

    This fish was delish! Good flavor and easy to make. I will make again with minor changes. I don't think I will use as much oil as the recipe calls for next time, and I will try rice wine instead of regular white wine.

    This was a really great recipe and incredibly easy. The whole family loved it, and I had one leftover piece of salmon chilled on salad the next day - fabulous!

    I don't get the thing about lemon and fish. Years ago, before refrigeration and modern cooking, lemon was used to MASK the flavors of the fish, which were, well, fishy! Now, the fish is generally fresh, and tastes sweet and nutty. Why make it taste like lemon, when you have gone through all of that trouble to make a wonderful tasting glaze?

    How much cayenne? That sounds like a great addition.

    The original version of this recipe included cayenne pepper. I really don't like salmon but I'll eat it this way, with the cayenne. It is awesome!!!!
