I don't understand why more people haven't raved about this one. So so good. It has become my favorite "company meal". It's always a big hit!

We've tried several of the OLDWAYS recipes, but this one is by far our favorite. It has a lot of flavor from different sources. We're not a big fan of zucchini so we substituted fresh asparagus instead. We also added 8 oz of fresh sliced mushrooms. Definitely recommend this recipe.

Great dish! Since I was preparing it for myself (for lunch), I substituted high quality canned salmon for the salmon filets and simply mixed-in the marinade (to taste) before briefly popping everything into the oven. Obviously, the canned salmon lacked the texture of the salmon filets, but was definitely “good enough.” I look forward to making this dish again.

Absolutely delicious! I bought tzatziki instead of making my own.
