"I found this recipie in a magazine distributed by the local liquor store. It's a nice change for salmon fillets if you can afford to part with the quality Scotch Whiskey."

We really liked the salmon and the sauce (it has a nice 'kick' to it from the chili sauce) just not sure if we liked the added mushrooms..will definitely make this again but leave the mushrooms out.
