Visual Cues & Timing Secrets
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment—this makes cleanup a breeze. Pat the salmon dry, because a dry surface is key to the sauce clinging and caramelizing instead of steaming off. Whisk the sauce in a small bowl, but don’t use it all at once; reserve a quarter for brushing on after baking.
Brush a thick layer over the fillets, then bake for 12-15 minutes. The sauce will bubble and set into a sticky glaze, and the salmon will turn that perfect rosy pink. If you like a little char, switch to broil for the final 1-2 minutes—just watch it closely so it doesn’t burn. Let it rest for a minute before serving so the juices settle.
