This was a wonderful recipe. If you would rather have the spicy marinade throughout the salmon, just follow the recipe until the brushing part, and pour the sauce over the salmon and bake for a total of 30 minutes. It is absolutely delicious and exerts less energy. The sauce permiates the fish.

Made this exactly but cooked it on the grill. Marinaded in the sauce for about 30 minutes and then grilled.

This salmon is just lovely! I doubled the recipe with slight changes. I subbed low sodium soy sauce and ground mustard instead of Dijon (only because we were out). I took the advice to pour the sauce instead of marinate. I cooked skinless salmon in a baking pan that had a wire rack. I paired this salmon with mashed sweet potatoes, honey cornbread, and broccoli. It was like a restaurant meal.

Scaled back for 2 serves so reduced sauce to 1/4 cup and for dietary reasons used low sodium soy sauce and sugar free maple syrup, my pieces of salmon where 100 grams each and I baked at 160C fan forced oven for 5 minutes and then basted and repeated twice more at 5 minute interverals so in 15 minutes they were cooked just right with a slight translucent texture and moist. I had some sauce left over so zapped in the microwave and poured over the salmon. Thank you conniecooks, made for Help A aked Recipe.
