Recipe Questions & Answers

→ What is the best way to glaze the salmon evenly?

Use a pastry brush or spoon to coat each fillet generously, ensuring the glaze covers the tops and sides for full flavor.

→ Can I prepare the salmon ahead of time?

Marinating the salmon in the honey mustard glaze for 10–15 minutes before broiling deepens the flavor and can be done shortly before cooking.

→ How do I know when the salmon is cooked perfectly?

Broil until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, usually 8–12 minutes depending on thickness.

→ Are there good alternatives to honey in the glaze?

Maple syrup can substitute honey for a different sweetness profile while maintaining the glaze’s balance.

→ What side dishes complement this salmon glaze?

Steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad pair well, providing balance to the rich and tangy flavors.
