I didn't think this was very exceptional, but perhaps this is a reflection of my taste and not the recipe itself. I much prefer the naturally sweet taste of carrots. Baby carrots are so delicious on their own - why bother sugaring them up? Stewing the carrots in orange juice is a good idea, but drenching them in fattening butter and sugar isn't great for your heart or your waistline! I might use this recipe for very large or slightly bitter carrots (or for family members that wouldn't touch a vegetable with a garden rake otherwise!), but for baby carrots I would just steam them until tender and serve! If you make this recipe, then steaming the carrots instead of boiling them at least preserves more of their nutrients.

A great way to use up extra potatoes! I used peeled baby potatoes. Next time I won't peel them. I used 1/4 cup of olive oil and will do so next time as well. I didn't have all the herbs and spices so I just added what I did have with a little extra added. We're garlic lovers so I added 1 big tablespoonsful of garlic puree (delicious!) and some garlic pepper. I didn't have any red pepper flakes so I used just a dash of standard Indian hot chilli powder. Even a few dashes of hot sauce would substitute nicely for the red pepper flakes I think. The tiny bit of zip this adds is well worth it. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Two thumbs up! This is, hands-down, one of the best recipes I've got from this site. I can't believe that other reviewers aren't drooling over it as much as we are! I've cooked a lot of salmon and this is one great recipe. It was absolutely delicious and very simple to make. Instead of breadcrumbs I used crushed bruschetta, although any sort of crackers would work quite nicely. I used a 1/2 cup of butter since I love saucey sauces. I skipped the nuts since I didn't have any on hand - tastes just fine without them. Instead of fresh parsley I used 1 teaspoon dried. I loved having extra sauce and I served it at the table so people could help themselves. Yum!!!!
