I love this recipe and have used for years. My only tweaks are Asian Chili Paste, small amount of OJ along with Bourbon. Everyone Loves. Thanks! -
WOW - this is simply wow! So quickly made and so tasty. I used honey instead of brown sugar and reduced it to half the amount because honey is much sweeter than brown sugar. The salmon remains so juicy, and the lemon balances the sweetness nicely. Thanks for posting this fabulous recipe!<br/>Made for Best of 2010. -
