Notes
- Salmon filets: you may use skin on or skin off salmon filets. Fresh or frozen will work, but if you can use fresh wild-caught salmon.
- Honey: this ingredient can be substituted with maple or brown sugar.
- Garlic: use fresh garlic as much as possible. Garlic powder will not yield the same flavors.
- Soy sauce: Use low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos.
