Absolutely loved it!! The salmon would be fantastic on its own. I broiled it and it turned out great. Hubby loved it, too.

We loved this recipe. My boyfriend doesn't eat fish, so I used chicken! Worked wonderfully! This is now my go to marinade. The tomato and onions are so good, and I also used bell peppers in the mix.
