I am not a huge salmon fan, but my husband is so I make for him. This recipe however was amazing. My husband was disappointed because for the first time I ate all of my salmon and he didn't get any. I worried when I first made the glaze because it seemed really strong, but once on the salmon it was perfect (although I will leave the salt out next time). I will decrease the cooking times a little next time too, while it wasn't overcooked, it was borderline.

Hi, I am saving this recipe. I can't make it right now. My DH has some serious health issues and is only eating soup at the moment. I will definitely make it when I can. Leanne
