Great fish! I made this a bit different than indicated. My salmon had skin on it, so I just cut it into 4 pieces (1 1/2 pounds) and the zucchini I sliced vertically -- adding the spice mixture to both -- and grilled them -- delicious and very different from the usual grilled salmon. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again soon -- next time as kabobs!Reply
