  Loved it! Of course the quality of the salmon used helps. Good enough for guests but quick enough for midweek. Definitely one to repeat!

  HAVE MADE THIS A FEW TIMES. THE ONIONS ARE VERY DELICIOUS, SO YES, I DO PLENTY. BALANCES WELL WITH THE SALMON. THE LEMON ZEST IS A MUST! I'VE ALSO TOPPED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH THE ONION RELISH - WORKS WELL! IS A FAMILY FAVORITE!

  Loved it! Doubled the onion, excellent suggestion. As an extra bonus I found out that cooking fresh fish is not that difficult. Thanks for an excellent recipe with clear directions.

  Made this for my book club for 7 people. Absolutely superb you can prepare the onion mixture in advance and just heat through. I baked the salmon in the oven for 20 minutes with a little wine which was much easier for me under the circumstances. Would definitely make it again - do add lots of extra onions. I did 4 large red onions which was superb.

  I was very sceptical to the claim of adding garlic with the onions and unfortunately my fears were realised as the garlic was burning and the onions were only just caramalised - perhaps the onions wasnt chopped finrly enough - I will have to read the ingredients more closely next time! I will admit I should have thought this through, and with me being a bit cheap and using raspberry vinegar it wasnt as good as I hoped, however if the garlic hadn't burnt I am sure it would turn out better.

  Lovely recipe -- the salmon is simple and easy to cook and so are the sweet and sour onions. Impressive and tasty meal in minutes. I serve with a salad of romaine hearts with lemon and olive oil dressing. O and I dont use the mint.

  Did enjoy this recipe, the garlic did brown before the onions caramelised. Read other comments and doubled the onions which were delicious I will be making this again
