Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1

    Halibut steaks can be used for the salmon steaks.
  • tip 2

    Wrap each lemon wedge in a double-thickness square of cheesecloth and tie with a ribbon. When you squeeze, you get the juice, not the seeds!
  • tip 3

    No thyme in your cupboard? Dried basil or marjoram leaves can also be used.
