My husband, who is a picky eater, loved this recipe! It was very easy to make. I had to make one change, though. I'm allergic to citrus. So instead of lemon juice and peel, I used sour salt or citric acid for that lemony taste. I would definitely make this for dinner party!

My whole family LOVED this (including 11 and 9 year old kids)! I pretty much followed the recipes exactly (except that I didn't have mint). BBQ'd the salmon (one large 1.3 lb fillet from Costco) on the grill (benefit of living in Southern CA in April) and it was perfect. My husband said "Save this recipe to make again". Thank you!

I changed the recipe a little!

I baked the salmon, instead of grilling it, because, fish sticks really bad to the grill. It does not matter which kind.

The relish, I used corn instead of Cucumbers, since they bother my stomach.

Also, I did not used mint, I used cilantro instead. I omitted the sugar on the relish and the salt on the salmon. I used Splenda brown sugar, and I used about 1/8 cup.

The whole family liked this. I baked it in a 350 oven since our grill is awaiting its post-winter cleaning.

The salmon is excellent with and without the relish.

I will halve the relish recipe next time, since my family liked it but used only about half of it.
