- Baste with the sauce again. Sprinkle the top of the salmon with salt.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes, until the tops of the salmon start to darken in spots.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for 3-4 minutes.
- Serve warm drizzled with some extra pan sauce.

Notes
- The nutrition information includes 1/4 of the sauce. It's good to have a lot of sauce for basting the fish. But, all of the sauce doesn't typically get consumed, reducing the calories of this dish.
