Notes
- Choose high-quality salmon that’s firm, moist, and brightly colored for the best flavor.
- Line your sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. Leave space between fillets for even cooking.
- Bake just until the salmon flakes with a fork, overbaking will dry it out.
- Brush generously with glaze before baking, and optionally again halfway through or before serving.
- Serve hot, straight from the oven for the best taste and texture.
