Love the sauce, didn't care for the prep. Next time I'll keep the seasonings essentially the same but grill the salmon and stir fry the veggies. The cooking time using a broiler obviously varies based on the thickness and coldness of your fillet. Not realizing how fast the veggies cooked, they browned a bit too much, so I had to take them out and continue cooking the fish until done. But will definitely make it again because the sauce is so yummy with the salmon.

Really, really good! I would add more honey, though.

This was much better than I had expected. There was a debate as to whether garlic should be sliced or minced. The wayI had it was with minced garlic.

Very good. The sauce was amazing. I did not broil the salmon before I added the vegetables. I cooked them at the same time for 4 minutes. The salmon was a little overdone, so I can't imagine how overcooked it would be if you broiled the filets for 8 minutes. I served with short grain white rice. A very good weeknight meal.

Delicious!! Makes a nice presentation too for a company dinner. Only thing I would do differently is to make more of the sauce, it was that good!!
