I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this recipe was still delicious. The glaze was flavorful and the salmon and scallops were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, but I would use less jalapeno next time.

This recipe was an absolute delight! The Blazin' Jalapeno Basil Glaze added a perfect blend of heat and flavor to the salmon and scallops. The glaze was easy to make and added a beautiful color to the dish. I served it over a bed of jasmine rice and
