Last week we had some friends over to play bridge. I made this and it was delicious. I marinated the salmon the night before and then fired up the grill about 10 minutes before they arrived and it cooked beautifully. It was good to the last drop. I did not use the brown sugar and upped the garlic to 4 cloves. I also marinated it in a Tupperware container and just kept flipping it every time I opened the refrigerator. I bought a whole salmon and only used half, but I will definately make the rest with this recipe.

Finally a salmon recipe that my husband loves! He has been begging me to find a Teriyaki Salmon recipe and with yours now I have one that is easy to prepare too! I only marinated it for 1 hour and it tasted perfect. Found and made during ZWT7.

My husband thought this was good for a fish dish, but it was so salty, that he got my portion. I marinated it for 2.5 hrs, and that was a huge mistake. I don't think I'd marinate it more than 15 min next time. ZWT7

This was really great with a salmon cutlet. I've had almost identical marinades before but I really like the idea of reserving some to pour over the fish. I reserved just a fraction more and also poured over a fresh salad so it made a great marinade and salad dressing all in one!
