I made this tonight because I, miraculously, had all the ingredients on hand. I found that 6 minutes of cooking on low was not nearly enough to cook the salmon. It was still raw and cloudy looking. I cooked it a few more minutes on the stove, then transferred the salmon fillets to a baking dish and broiled them for a couple of minutes. The color became more appetizing and it turned out to be a delicious recipe with the salmon being very tender. Other than putting them in the oven, I made the dish according to the recipe. My husband says he'd like to have it again.
