Notes
- I suggest storing the baked salmon and sauce in separate containers. Both components will keep well for up to 2-3 days in the fridge.
- Reheat the salmon briefly in the microwave or on low in the oven. The sauce can be shaken or vigorously stirred before serving, but does not need to be heated.
