This is a great salom. The sauce is out standing . It may be too spicy for some people, just leave out some of the jalapeno seed. I left about half of them. Its an easy recipe but takes a little time the first time. Be sure to make the sauce inadvance or make it and store in refrig overnight. I did not finish it in the over. I cooked it on the grill and moved the coals to the side for indirect heat. I also eliminated the parchment paper and cooked on the plank. Love It, Love It, Love It
