I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon came out dry and overcooked. The green sauce was also a bit too salty for my taste.

I had some trouble finding the right green sauce recipe. The one I used was a bit too tart for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some extra herbs or spices to the salmon.
