This was excellent! I didn't add quite as much cayenne as the recipe called for (I'm feeling a toddler too :) And I cooked the fish for 5 minutes skin side up, then finished in the oven on a piece of foil so the skin would stay with the foil (350 for 15 min). It worked great. Excellent flavor. I'll definitely make this one again!

Great-tasting salmon. Great-tasting salad. This was just a very delcious, healthy meal. I scaled this down to two for just my husband and myself and it was a big hit. The salmon marinade is extremely flavourful and also glazes beautifully on the salmon as it sears. The salad dressing is also tasty and complements both salmon and greens. It was a pleasure to eat so lightly, and so well.
