# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sauce creates this gorgeous sticky glaze that caramelizes in spots while keeping the salmon incredibly moist inside
  • It comes together in under five minutes but tastes like something from a proper restaurant
02 -
  • Patting the salmon completely dry before adding the sauce makes a huge difference in how well the glaze adheres
  • The sauce will bubble up beautifully in the oven but might burn if your oven runs hot, so keep an eye on it during the last few minutes
03 -
  • For restaurant-quality presentation, spoon a little extra sauce over each fillet right before serving
  • A quick two minutes under the broiler at the end creates incredible caramelized spots that look and taste amazing
