Way too salty! What a way to ruin a nice piece of fish. Followed the recipe as stated except used the BBQ to cook. -
Great! Works very well on the grill too. A great little company makes cedar planks more available - picked em up at whole foods - sautee cedar (www.sauteecedar.com) I bought a whole bunch of em because I love the taste - obviously, this recipe is ideal.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
