Thanks for a great starter recipe. We like garlic with our salmon, so diced about 4 cloves and added to marinade. I like to make things a little easier when I cook, so placed salmon in aluminum foil and poured marinade over, skin side down. Marinated for about 30 minutes. Just placed packet on jelly roll pan and placed in oven for called for time. Did not use rice in packet. Came out terrific!

The mixture of spices was good. I might do white rice next time. It seems to hold flavor better in my experience. This is fairly quick. No leftovers - always a good sign.
