"This marinade amounts listed is enough for 1 pound of salmon fillets or salmon steaks, you may double but make two separate marinade recipes in two separate bowls (1 pound of salmon for each resealable bag) plan ahead the marinade needs to cool to room temperature before using and the salmon needs to marinate for 6-24 hours."

I love this type of marinade and this did not let me down. I halved the recipe and marinated for a couple hours. Sauteed in pan and used the marinade for a glaze. Thanks for posting! Made for 123 Hit Wonders.

Very tasty result, even though I only had 1 hour to marinate.

This was wonderful. I love salmon - I marinated several fillets for a day, then put them on the George Foreman Grill and put them back in the fridge. I then top a Romaine lettuce salad with them and have a great lunch! Thanks!
