Thai Salmon with LIME!
Thank you so much for pointing out these discrepancies. For goodness sake, I must have been typing with my eyes closed! I have rewritten it to consistent standards and we will have that posted shortly.
Have a great day!

Thai Ginger-Lime-Coconut Salmon with Chanterelle Mushrooms
The title says lime, but there is none listed in the ingredients or recipe body.
The ingredients list red bell pepper, but they are not mentioned in the recipe.
The recipe says green onions, but they are not listed in the ingredients.
Confusing, but I did make it and it was good altough I just threw the red pepper in at the last minute and squeezed lime over the dish. I added some soy sauce for saltiness or fish sauce might have been good for the sweet/salt flavoring.
I do love Lynne's recipes...this one just needs some minor corrections!
