Easy, tender, moist and flavorful. One of our daughters who frowns at cooked fish even liked it. Cut way back on the mustard enough just to leave undertones, thought it would be too pronounced with the proportions given. Marinaated for 2 hours. Will definately prepare again.

The marinade tasted great as is, but I think it could have penetrated in the fish more. Would have to marinade it longer next time but flavors were delicious

The marinade and glaze were great. Unfortunately instead of using 2 - 8oz salmon stakes as the recipe called for, DH used 4-4oz slamon steaks instead. Therefore they were overdone. But I licked some of the marinade off of my fingers and it was great. So we will try it again with the correct size salmon. Thanks!
