This was really good except a little salty. Maybe I used too much salt (my "pinch" skill isn't very good plus I probably should have left out all salt because we never use salt in anything) Definitely will make again as I like that it is different than just plain old grilled salmon. Thanks for posting the recipe, HoosierBuckeye!
