Thanks for this recipe. I think you should re-post as a chix marinade because it was AWESOME on the chicken. I wasn't planning on cooking chix at all, but defrosted 2 breasts because the feedback for it was so strong. So happy I did. Yum! The salmon was good too. I think the filets I had tasted a little fishy, so it wasn't as awesome as the chicken, but I don't think it was the marinades fault at all. I ended up baking in the oven because we had a propane issue. I took the onions from the marinade and left them on top of the chix and salmon. They were a GREAT piece in both texture and taste. We will def have this again! Thanks!

An event planner by profession, and a life-long foodie wanna-be who loves to make people happy by feeding them things that make their eyes light up. I'm an empty-nester who enjoys nothing more than cooking for family and friends. When those are not available, my dogs make EXCELLENT and enthusiastic Guinea pigs for testing new recipes. Not surprisingly, I've found that the German Shorthaired Pointers have much more discriminating palates than do the Goldens, who would eat anything -and I mean ANYTHING- that wasn't nailed down (and some things that were). They are all convinced that I'm a gourmet chef, however they're a pretty easy audience.
