Typically, I am not crazy about salmon. However, I like curry so when I saw this recipe, I thought I would give it a try. What a terrific dish! My husband proclaimed it to be restaurant quality!

Made this dish for the family and it was an absolute hit! I tweaked the sauce by adding 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Magnificent! Will definitely add this to my dinner menu rotation for sure. Thanks Kraft!

Delicious, very good flavors. I couldn't find coconut milk, and used cream of coconut instead which gave it a bit of a sweet taste. Want to try it again using the regular coconut milk. All members of the family enjoyed.

This recipe was very good. The plates were pratically licked clean! I will be making this again. Right amount of spice, had to add a little more seasoning to the sauce to make it just right. But, overall very good!

I have NEVER EVER liked salmon! My husband went to Alaska last summer and came home with pounds of salmon. I was not thrilled by any means. I have tried many different recipes to try and just like the fish. I saw this one and we tried it last night for dinner. It is by far the BEST recipe yet! We both LOVED the salmon cooked this way. Can't wait to make it again for friends!

Very easy to make, although the salmon took longer to cook in my stove, more like 14 minutes. I also felt like the curry was missing a spice, though I don't know what else I could have added to it. It did come out good and served with rice made for a good meal.
