sweetness – The sugar helps the glaze to caramelize, and the brown sugar and honey sweeten things up.

Tips for grilling salmon to perfection
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper or foil after each cleanup.

- Add fresh herbs such as coriander and parsley to the garnish.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a few lemon slices is perfect for serving.
- Cook salmon to desired temperature using an instant-read thermometer. The USDA recommends 145°F, but many people find this a bit overkill and prefer temperatures closer to 125-130°F. Consuming raw or undercooked seafood can increase the risk of food poisoning.
