Baked salmon is always a winner, but the sauce takes this recipe to the next level. Jalapenos give it some bite while butter and sour cream give it a luscious creaminess. Simply sensational.

This is an excellent dish. I made it for our wedding anniversary and my husband absolutely loved it. The cooking time was perfect and the sauce is amazing. Goes great with a bed of rice.
