Notes
- For thinner or smaller salmon pieces, reduce baking time accordingly to avoid overcooking.
- Double glaze ingredients when cooking more than a pound of salmon to ensure even coating.
- Add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the glaze for a spicy variation.
- Marinating salmon in the glaze for an hour before baking enhances flavor depth.
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container for up to two days to maintain freshness.
