I used 2 x 180grams salmon fillets for 2 of us and made the full glaze though only used 1 tablespoon of brown sugar which was just a nice amount of sweetness for us and worked with my diabeties better. Just loved it and it was beautfully cooked in the time allotted - I cooked for 8 minutes and then poured the glaze over and baked in the oven for a further 2 to 3 minutes and we had salmon that flaked to perfection but was still moist. Thank you Barb Gertz for a delicious salmon recipe and Life Is Good for the recommendation in I Recommend Tag Game.

I love it. I've used this glaze multiple times, and it simply tastes great with salmon. I usually boil the sauce a little to thicken it up so that it sticks more to the fish at the end of cooking. One of favorites...easy, fast and tasty for an easy meal with rice and steamed veggies...or whatever...takes minutes.

This was a hit with my family. It is easy to prepare on a busy weeknight, cooks to perfection, has great flavor and is healthful too. We enjoyed it with brown rice and steamed broccoli. My teens loved it and I'm guessing that the sweet glaze would be pleasing to younger children too and a great way to introduce them to salmon. Thanks Barb Gertz for a new way to enjoy salmon.

I absolutely loved this recipe. The only thing I did to boost flavor was fry a clove of garlic while the salmon was baking. I put the garlic in the simmering sauce.
