Just saw the video for this recipe. Pasta and some of the ingredients are not mentioned for this dish.

My family loves this recipe and I have made it many times over the years. I do agree that the fennel might be too flavorful for some kids. The dish, however, comes out great consistently. I do cover the fish with aluminum foil towards the end of cooking to make sure the topping doesn't burn. I have used the salmon recipe to make salmon cakes and they also came out delicious.

I successfully made this dish tonight, and it's delicious! However, I did modified the ingredients based on previous responses. I only added half of the fennel seeds asked for in this recipe & the other half I replaced w/extra parsley. I baked my salmon at 475o for about 20 minutes & once the pasta was completely drained and back on the stove, I added in the spinach & a couple pinches of salt for taste. Overall, this dish was easy to make. Just make sure you cook the Salmon to perfection first!

I really enjoy fennel, but I suppose the seeds with the fish and everything...it was just too much for me. As other people have said, use less pasta. I can appreciate the idea but I didn't enjoy it.

This was just ok. The fennel was too much. Would not recommend for children. Like the concept but will replace the fennel seasoning next time. Also these recipes make a ton of food. I've stated this before. If you eat recommended daily portions you'll want to cut recipe in half.

This was super tasty! I cooked the salmon on a baking sheet on foil at 450 for about 15 mins to reduce the risk of the topping burning, and it was a success! I love how the topping comes apart in the pasta and flavors the whole dish. Next time I'm going to try this with a little bread crumb/ parm topping for some crunch. Definitely making again!

We love this recipe and make it often, but does anyone have the issue of the topping charring under the broiler? I end up scraping it off every time. How do you compensate?

This method of cooking Salmon has become one of our favorites. I love the fennel and it adds a piquant flavor to the salmon. I often don't cook the pasta as I'm allergic to milk products but serve the pasta and spinach separately.

I left out the fennel and used dried parsley, it turned out SO yummy!

Unfortunately, I have a strong aversion to fennel. The recipe sounds delicious with out it, but any suggestions for a substitute that would compliment the recipe?

This dish is excellent; super easy to prepare and company worthy. I've made it several times-definitely adding this meal to the rotation. My husband prefers this tossed with fresh baby spinach. And I've used dried parsley as well as fresh parsley and got the same flavor and results.

I made this last night, and it was delicious. The leftovers were good, too. I kept everything seperate when storing it. I used low-fat sour cream and whole grain pasta. I also used collared greens in place of spinach. It was wonderful in texture. And yes, there was way too much pasta.

I made this nice pasta salad today and liked it, only I made half for husband and myself and it still was a lot of pasta.

Looks very interesting and I can't wait to try it. But four ounces of pasta per person?? I'd recommend 2 ounces of pasta per person, or 1/2 pound in total.

This looks good - I think I might try it with the LF sour cream or yogurt and whole wheat pasta. I would love more healthy but comfort recipes for the cold Chicago winter - anyone know more sites to look?

Jenava...Most of the fat comes from the salmon, which is good fat. Use reduced fat sour cream and really 1 TBL spoon of light brown sugar, not much and it adds to the flavor of this recipe. I like Ram9270's version, too

This dish is very popular in Italy,where I live. This version of the recipe is much more complicated than necessary. You can use smoked salmon instead of fresh, cut into slivers, cooked in regular cream on the stove, and then added to the cooked pasta. Salt is only necessary in the pasta. None of the other ingredients are needed and will make the dish just as tasty, and much faster to prepare.
