Cooking Tips

• Make sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the salmon from sticking.
• If you prefer a spicier glaze, you can add more red pepper flakes.
• To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If it flakes easily and is opaque, it is done.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat the salmon, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the glazed salmon with steamed rice and roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
