Instructions

Prepare the Sauce:

Cook the Salmon:

-
Glaze the Salmon:
- Once the salmon is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the honey garlic sauce over the fillets.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the salmon to ensure it’s fully coated.

Notes
- Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a green salad for a complete meal.
