      Can you sub chicken? Will it change anything drastically?

        Hey CeeCee, you can definitely substitute the salmon for chicken in this recipe. Cooking times will change a bit but it should be just as delicious. Enjoy!

        Hi Michelle, double cream is just heavy cream/whipping cream. Hope that helps! Did you enjoy the recipe?

      I made it! My son likes salmon broiled in soy sauce, pineapple juice, bourbon and brown sugar, so a sweet glazed salmon. I wasn’t expecting it, but he loved the lemon and cream salmon just as much.
