This recipe is a little too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salmon turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The molasses sauce is sweet and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the salmon.

I had to make a few substitutions, but the dish still turned out great! I used honey instead of molasses and added a little bit of garlic powder.
