Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This dish was a smash hit in my household. The flavor and texture was excellent. It was easy to prepare and all the ingredients were in my garden or pantry. All I added was a shake of Mrs. Dash. It's a Salmon lovers delight.
