Brown Sugar Salmon

ChrisMc's Note:

One of the many fish recipes I found one year during Lent - this one made it easy to give up meat. Very easy, but the taste is out of proportion to the effort.

This is delicious and SOooo easy to make....thank you, ChrisMc for a wonderful alternative to the "same ole' baked salmon" :0)

I made this last night and it was so good! I made one change since my DD is allergic to dairy. Instead of using butter, I used sesame oil and that really makes it yummy. I served it with Dan's Asian Rice (found on food.com) and on a bed of cooked spinach. Cooked the spinach in sesame oil also with garlic and soy sauce. My kids gobbled it up! Thanks for the recipe!

I don't know what happened. The salmon had no flavor at all. I marinated it for four hours and I basted it as it was baking. I even made made more of the sauce/marinade than called for. I had to end up using a bottled teriyaki marinade to give the salmon flavor. What do you think may have happened?
