Honey Glazed Salmon
Honey Glazed Salmon features oven-baked salmon fillets brushed with a sauce made from honey, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and a touch of cornstarch for thickness. The salmon is pan-seared briefly before baking to develop color, then glazed with the rich sauce for a sweet and savory finish. This method achieves tender, flaky salmon with a balanced glaze that's not overpowering.

Notes
- Adjust baking time according to salmon thickness; thicker fillets may need up to 10 minutes.
- Ensure salmon is cooked just until flaky and slightly translucent in the center to avoid overcooking, as residual heat will continue cooking after removal.
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
