Great easy recipe - and delicious! I did find (like sugarpea) that there wasn't much sauce left to spoon over the finished salmon, but the salmon itself did turn out tasty! Thanks for sharing!

Wow Jeff! This salmon is fantastic. What a great combo of flavors. We both enjoyed this so much. I made as written, with no subs. It will definitely be flagged as a favorite! Thanks for a great recipe!

This salmon was so simple and so flavorful! I'm not really a huge salmon fan, so I was pleasantly surprised by this dish. It was voted 5 stars all around. I served it with rice pilaf and cole slaw. I think a nice southwest- seasoned slaw with a vinaigrette would compliment this fish better than the standard deli kind that I made, but I didn't have time to dig up a recipe. Really, this salmon is definitely something that I will make again...and that's saying a lot because I rarely make the same thing twice. Thanks for posting this!

What a great combination of spicey and sweet! This was enjoyed by my non-salmon loving hubby - five stars from him too! Next time I think I might up the hot pepper sauce to give it a little more punch.I served this with my Herbed Couscous Pilaf and spinach saute'd in olive oil and garlic-yum! Thanks, Mean, for another keeper!

This has wonderful flavours and so easy to make. We stopped and bought a side of salmon on our way home from Wanaka yesterday and as I had all the ingredients to make this recipe and I'd had it in my 'to make' file for a long tme it was the perfect opportunity to do so. Love the citrus flavours and the bite of the hot sauce and chili.
