Followed recipe exactly & love it. Reminds me of the Firecracker salmon rolls at Cheesecake Factory. I baked the salmon at 400 for 15 minutes.

Great fish! I decreased the red pepper and garlic just a tad for wonderful fish. This recipe is so easy to adjust for a lesser amount - I made just enough fish for the 3 of us, using the full amount of marinade and marinated it for about 5 hours - it was cooked to perfection on the grill. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again soon!

I've made this now using both salmon and trout, and it turns out perfectly every time.

DH and I made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it. DH even braved the beginning of a snowstorm to fire up the grill so we could try this out. It was definitely worth it! The flavor was delicious and it smelled fantastic. DH kept saying how much he enjoyed it, and he does not say that very often. We used trout for this recipe. The marinade could not have been easier for me to put together. I marinaded 4 hours. Thank you very much for this keeper!

This is a great marinade and one I used many times in the past. I found it cleaning out a recipe box and come to list it as a new recipe and found it here already so will rate it instead. Thanks for posting.

I've been making this for years as an OAMC dish - I freeze family-sized portions with the marinade using my vacuum sealer, which really enhances the flavor. This is similar to another "Firecracker Salmon" recipe on 'zaar', but the main difference is the addition of sesame oil - this is a critical ingredient, IMHO! Thanks for posting!

I substituted apple cider vinegar for balsamic, omitted the ginger, and added roasted sesame seeds. We can't grill in the apartment, but frying the sea trout fillets in a wok with canola oil worked great too!

This was a fantastic and tasty way to prepare salmon. I added three cloves of crushed garlic and substitutes 1 heaping tablespoon of fresh ginger instead of the powder. I also omitted the salt as a personal preference. I could not find peanut oil either and used sesame oil instead and it turned out lovely. We will definitely be having this again. Thanks for posting!
