Add 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze for a sweet and spicy kick.
Substitute parsley with fresh dill or thyme for a different aromatic profile that pairs beautifully with salmon.

Swap the honey for an equal amount of pure maple syrup for a rich, slightly different kind of sweetness.
Salmon is an excellent source of EPA and DHA, omega-3 fatty acids that are crucial for brain health, reducing inflammation, and lowering blood pressure and triglyceride levels.
Provides essential amino acids necessary for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, protecting bone health, and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
The combination of omega-3s and other nutrients in salmon supports cognitive function, improves memory, and may reduce the risk of age-related mental decline.
Garlic contains allicin and other compounds with potent anti-inflammatory effects, which, combined with the omega-3s in salmon, help combat chronic inflammation in the body.

Absolutely. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Pour the glaze over the salmon during the last 3-4 minutes of baking and broil for 1 minute to caramelize.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari. For a soy-free alternative, coconut aminos are an excellent substitute and work very well in the glaze.
The most reliable way is to use an instant-read thermometer; it should read 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part for a fully cooked fillet. Visually, the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
Yes, you can. However, you must ensure the fillets are fully thawed in the refrigerator overnight. Before cooking, pat them extremely dry with paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
