Very good and easy. I was skeptical about the need for the Irish Whiskey (I didn't think you'd be able to taste it), but it was there -- a very subtle and nice flavor. (And I don't like whiskey at all...) We only marinated ours for about 40 minutes because we were in a rush but it was still delicious. Thanks Leslie!

Excellent recipe! I pan fried the salmon in a very small amount of olive oil then basically deglazed the pan with the remaining marinade and swirled in the butter. It was outstanding.
