Notes
TOP TIPS:
- Adjust for thickness: Thinner, pre-packaged salmon fillets will cook faster - check at 6-8 minutes.
- Easy sides: Serve with steamed broccoli, carrot, green beans or a quick cucumber salad to keep things simple.
- Add heat: Stir a pinch of chilli flakes or a drizzle of sriracha into the glaze if you like a little spice.
