I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salmon turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also bland.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time.

This braised salmon and lettuce dish was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, while the lettuce added a refreshing crunch. The sauce was flavorful and complemented the salmon and lettuce perfectly.
