Irish Roasted Salmon

~Leslie~'s Note:

Salmon fillets marinated in Irish whiskey and honey have a glazed look as well as a superb taste and texture. Irish whiskey has a slightly peppery taste. A delicious combination! From Food and Drink. Prep time includes marinating time.

MMMM! Yummy! This was very very nice. The directions were perfect and the timing was right on the money. Our salmon came out perfect. We really enjoy salmon with a hint of sweet. Nice time I might even try addinga little extra honey though it is awesome as is. Fantastic! Thanks Leslie for an awesome top quality meal! zwt 3
