This melts in your mouth! I served this to my Book Club and they loved it! My only suggestion would be to "watch" the amount of marinade the recipe makes; I adjusted the recipe for 6 people and had a TON more marinade than I needed.

Loved this! I'm not a fish/seafood lover, but hubby is and I still loved it. I cooked it on a cedar plank and it was terrific. The only change I made was to take the marinade, add cornstarch, and cook in a small skillet to thicken. Served this to pour over salmon at the table. MMMM!

Delicious!! We made this for a birthday dinner for my dad, who loves fish. I doubled the recipe and marinated the salmon for maybe 2 hours and the only change we made was to grill it on cedar planks. It got rave reviews and I would definitely make this again! Thank you!!

Boy! was this good!!! Made this recipe for 4th of July for 10 people and it drew raves!! Everyone commented on how much they liked the sweetness of the pineapple taste. Of course, like others have suggested, I marinated for 3 days AND used more bourbon (about 3 ounces), and sesame oil. One additional touch, I cooked the filets on cedar planks on my gas bbq. Result -- FANTASTIC!! Served with my Corn-Tomato-and-Black-Bean-Salsa. Made a big hit!!

I have made this many times but finally had to comment. My family loves this. My daughter would never even touch any fish until i made this. I like using orange juice instead of the pineapple. Great recipe!
