    Very good. I made it in my oven but am quite sure that it would be great on the grill. - 5/1/08

    Delicious! I love new ways to prepare salmon, I eat it a lot! I did ti in a grill pan and made nice grill marks on it, will use less salt and more sugar next time!!! Buy the way I made the BROKLY WOKLY as well for dinner and it was a really good combo!! - 3/17/08
