Spicy Caribbean Honey Baked Salmon

A good, crowd pleasing baked salmon recipe is so hard to find, but this one has been a go to favorite of mine for some years. This recipe comes from my girl Tana who is known for her amazing summer fish cookouts and this one is her best-seller. I've converted my share of salmon-haters with this recipe and now I'm going to show you how to make salmon fillets that will impress! It has quite a few ingredients but trust me, it's worth the effort! It's spicy, tangy, sweet and delicious!! Although the orginal recipe calls for grilling, I've discovered that baking it in the oven works wonderful as well. I always have leftover sauce when the salmon is gone and I can't bring myself to throw it away so I save it and pour it over chicken breast, so yummy!
