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.

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!!
