I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The salmon is always moist and flaky, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I like to serve it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice.

The salmon was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I will try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
