Outstanding!!! The jalapeno reduction on this is amazing!! The glaze turns the jalapenos into jalapeno-candy! I used lime juice in this and it really stood out in the glaze and made it sing!! I used a thick, raw honey in my glaze too. I had some really thick salmon filets so I lost count of how long I broiled these because I prepared them different "donenesses" for different people. You have to watch this if you have it close to the broiler because the honey glaze can burn. I absolutely loved this recipe and I had a salmon hater convert to liking salmon because of it so it's really excellent!!! Thanks so much for posting!!! -
Such an easy salmon dish and very elegant tasting. Loved the combination of jalapenos and honey. Made for Think Pink Tag October 2010. -
This was sooo good! The glaze is a perfect blend of spicy/sweet. I minced up some jarred jalapenos and I grilled it. I served it with a baked potato and salad. I might have to go buy some more salmon tomorrow! Thanks Maria-<br/>Roxygirl -
The pepper gave an interesting kick mixed with the honey. My DH loved this. Thanks for a great recipe. -
This was very good..really liked the sweet & spicy flavors. Substituted lime juice for the lemon. Next time, I will probably leave a few of the seeds in the sauce from the jalapeno to add a little more heat to suit our personal preference. Different from our usual way of serving salmon and definitely one we will use again. Thank you for sharing!
