    Notes

    Use fresh salmon for the best taste and nutrition. Baking times might differ for thicker pieces.
    If you want more glaze, double the sauce ingredients!
    Serve with rice or veggies for a complete meal. The sesame seeds add a nice crunch, making it irresistible.
    Sometimes, I like adding a squeeze of lime for an extra zing.
    Enjoy experimenting with your favorite flavors! 🌿
