Lyndsay, I made this the other night and the family went crazy over it. My son had a whole huge piece to himself, my husband said it was super awesome and my nephew (22) said it was the best salmon he's had in a long time. Thanks for a super quick and easy recipe that was a total hit!!

Hello there :-) It's an adaptation of a recipe I had at a friend's house. I added the wasabi (great addition) and omitted salt. I also always use low sodium soy sauce. Do try the raspberry vinegar, it's lovely!

Very healthy and delicious looking recipe - sweet and hot is nice. Did you create it yourself? I love the emphasis on health in your approach.

I've been told raspberry vinegar is nice - I think I'll look for it next time I'm shopping.
