# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in thirty minutes flat, which means weeknight dinner anxiety just disappears.
  • The honey mustard glaze is sweet and tangy at the same time, so even people who say they don't like salmon usually come back for seconds.
  • Baked salmon means no splattering oil or complicated pan work—just one sheet and you're done.
02 -
  • Wet salmon won't get a good glaze—pat those fillets dry or the sauce just slides right off and pools at the bottom of the pan.
  • If you broil it for the last two minutes like some recipes suggest, watch it like a hawk because it can go from caramelized to burnt in about thirty seconds flat.
03 -
  • Room-temperature salmon cooks more evenly than cold salmon straight from the fridge—pull it out ten minutes before cooking if you remember.
  • Fresh lemon juice tastes completely different from bottled; it's worth keeping a lemon in your fruit bowl just for moments like this.
