8. NOTE: Add more seasonings than listed if you like them, add less or remove them if you don't like them. This recipe is not set in stone .. however ... I recommend you try it this way first and then adjust according to your individual tastes. If you make this recipe and choose to substitute chicken or pork for the salmon or if you add chocolate or hot chili peppers or Dr Pepper you will not be happy and it is not my fault you did not follow instructions so please do not leave negative feedback .. this is a fish dish. Thank you.
