The taste is great. Trouble was I overcooked it and it turned into a candy/toffee like texture.... hardened when cooled and did not spread well onto fish. I WILL make it again (because it had a great taste), but I will add more ginger, boil for less than 20 minutes and cook the fish for a shorter period of . I found 8 minutes resulted in a very well done fillet.

This was an absolutely delicious glaze! I will definitely use it again. Keep an eye on your broiler, though %u2013 mine runs hot, even for a broiler, so I only ended up cooking the filet for four minutes, by which point the glaze was well-browned and the filet was cooked to about medium, which is my preferred doneness for good salmon.

This was some of the BEST salmon I've ever had!

If they were to make salmon into a candy, this would have to be the recipe they use! This glaze is fabulous! I don't think we have ever enjoyed salmon as much as we did last night! I did not have any fresh ginger, so I subbed sliced pickled ginger which was fabulous in this recipe. I also cooked this salmon on a cedar plank over our gas grill instead of under the broiler. I am placing this recipe in my permanent cookbook right this minute, so I won't misplace it!! We love Legal Seafood, but I do not recall ever seeing this recipe on their menu. You can be sure I will look for it next time we go, but I couldn't imagine it tasting any better in the restaurant than it did on my own dinner table. Thanks so much, dojemi!!
