01 -

The honey mustard glaze creates this gorgeous sticky finish that keeps the salmon impossibly moist
It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like something from a nice restaurant

02 -

Overcooking salmon is so easy to do, so I always pull mine out when it still looks slightly underdone in the thickest part
Room temperature fish cooks more evenly, so let your salmon sit out for 15 minutes before baking

03 -

Pat your salmon completely dry before applying the marinade so it sticks properly
Use a pastry brush for even coverage, it makes such a difference in the final flavor
