Delicious! Although it is a little to early in the season for me to grill, I decided to broil the salmon first, then added it to the cooking sauce for a couple of minutes to finish. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly as written and was not disappointed. Thanks for posting this unique way to serve salmon. I will be making this again. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
