This is a really delicious, restaurant-quality salmon recipe!!!! I LOVE the glaze and my guests kept bragging about how great it was too!! I used sriracha in place of Louisiana/Tabasco-type sauce and it really had great flavor and heat!!! I lined my pan with foil and I am glad that I did because the sugar in the glaze really burns on the pan (not on the salmon though). My salmon filets were about an inch or a little more thick so they took longer to cook than the 8-10 minutes. Probably more like 15-20 minutes, I just kept checking them until they were done. Absolutely loved this recipe, will make again and serve to guests again. Thanks for the recipe!!!!!

Turned out great! Very simple and easy to prepare. I might use the orange glaze recipe for other dishes.

I joined food.com just to leave this review - this recipe is that good! Delicious - and very easy. I didn't even use fresh salmon - I used an IQF slab of salmon and it was absolutely delicious. I love seafood anyway, but what's amazing is that my PICKY husband and two fish-hating children loved it, too. Thanks!
