I am so proud of myself. I have been working on organizing things on my computer, and trying to move a lot of it off my regular hard drive and onto my external hard drive. In the process, I started going through the recipes I have yet to blog. But I’m happy to say, I have now gone through all of them, typed out the recipes, and have them all prepared to post about. Now I just have to remember the details on some of these meals I made a few months ago!
Even though I made this quite some time ago, I do remember it. I always love salmon recipes. I love salmon to start off with, and it is just so easy to prepare. I used to be scared of preparing any type of fish until I discovered it’s much easier to cook a salmon fillet perfectly than it is to cook a chicken breast perfectly! This salmon is exactly what the title says – amazingly moist. If you area mayonnaise hater, you’ll probably want to skip this one, but I love it, so I loved this recipe. And the bread is quite delicious. And it’s perfect for a week night since it is a quick bread. I don’t see savory quick breads often enough, so I’m always quick to jump on them when I do see them. Altogether a delicious meal!

that cheese bread looks to die for
This is the second time I have heard that mayo creates a great marinade basis for fish. A fiend of mine suggested to use it for BBQ-ing and not being a bit BBQ lover I was skeptical but it must be time to try!
I've got no problems with mayo and salmon is always a hit at my house. Now that bread, that bread sounds wonderful! Like can I just have it?

salmon is an entree i don't enjoy, but i do love the name! the bread, on the other hand, appeals to me on every level. spice, cheese, moistness–fabulous.
A great combination! Very pleasant!
Cheers,
Rosa
Love the sound of that bread!
This meal would be a hit in our house. Brad loves salmon, and I also think it's easy to cook.
Aren't you neat? 😉
I'm usually disappointed by salmon when eating out because it tends to come to the table rather dry – that's why I know I'm gonna love this recipe, Deb!
Sounds like a nice fresh way to make salmon
What a delicious meal!
I'm drooling over it all 🙂

Mmm I love quick breads like that. This one sounds great! Love that there's so much pepper in it.
That bread sounds SPECTACULAR! I love black pepper- I bet it makes a great counterpoint to he other creamy ingredients!
both recipes look and sound great! and broccoli is my fave veggie… which means that's a really good looking meal!
I was trying to find the bread recipe, and every time I click on it the link takes me back to salmon?
Sorry about that! There was a space in the url, so it was kicking it back to the original post. The post has been updated, but you can find it here – https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/peppery-cheese-bread/.
Thank you so much!
I’ve made this 3-4 times since I found it recently. Love it with a Mexican kale salad so I use cilantro instead of parsley. Love this Recipe.
Hi. I’ve made this 2 times already and 3rd time today. Love this recipe. Although both time I had sliced up the salmon in fillet form and today lathered the spread on a whole salmon so worried if it’ll cook well… oh well
Thanks again for this awesome recipe
Is 500° right?
