Thanks so much for the recipe. It turned out scrumptious!

The only alteration I made was I added 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. I will definitley be making this again!!!

I grilled some salmon yesterday and it was mushy. :yuck: I drizzled with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. When it was done, I drizzled with a little lemon. I don't know what I did wrong but it was nasty. To much oil? Did I cook it to long, not long enough?

Where did you get the salmon from? That sounds like a problem w/ the fish not the way you prepared it :shrug:

Woodburns. So maybe it was mushy to start off with?

Yup could have been pre frozen then thawed then frozen again (that can make the fish mushy) or it could have been bad (rotten) but since you ate it and are alive I doubt it was

Definitely wasn't rotten. I know what that smells like
