This is really quick and easy, great for a weeknight dinner. I enjoyed the combination of sweet and spicy. I think I'll try marinating the salmon a bit before broiling next time.....I felt all the flavor was on the top, and hoped it would permeate the salmon more. Definitely a make again recipe. Thanks for sharing!

This was very tasty, yet delicate. I made this exactly as posted, except I did add a tablespoon of soy sauce to the marinade. I sprayed a disposable cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray, put the salmon on the cookie sheet, and cooked this on a covered gas grill, marinating frequently. I really did not notice the cayenne at all, so I might want to increase that next time. This was truly delicious and all my dinner guests were quite complimentary. Thanks for sharing this.
