I loved this and would rate it 5 stars for myself, but opinions in my family were mixed. DH, who admittedly is not a fan of fish, was about a 3 stars--he didn't like it as well as some other ways that I've prepared salmon. DS thought it was yummy, but he loves salmon! I loved that this seasoning was flavorful but not so strong as to mask the flavor of the salmon, and also that it was fat-free and sugar-free. The wasabi was not very noticeable in the final product, even though it was pretty potent before cooking. I think perhaps I'll try it with more wasabi next time. I skipped the wasabi mayo as I didn't feel it was necessary (and I'm on a diet!). Thanks so much for sharing, Beautiful BC! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag game.

Good recipe and easy-to-follow instructions. I liked the wasabi-soy coating on the salmon. I found the mayonnaise so-so. It needed more oomph - not necessarily more wasabi, but something.

4 stars.. I need to make this again though, because DH the wasabi fan said that even though I added more wasabi than stated that he was surprised not to taste more of it in the finished salmon. This was quick to make, and I think that it's definiatly a recipe for us to work on becuase DH is very pleased with the overall flavour.. he just wants more of it LOL. Made for Zaar World Tour 2008. Thanks!
