This recipe is the worst salmon recipe I have ever tried. The salmon was dry, the sauce was bland, and the whole dish was just a mess. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The salmon was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the salmon for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.
