Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The salmon was a bit bland, and the aioli was too heavy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon turned out dry. I'll try again soon and see if I can get it right.

I found that the salmon needed a little more seasoning, but overall this was a good recipe.

The aioli was a bit too garlicky for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly.
