how to store Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best to eat the salmon within 2-3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the cooked salmon. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn, and it should be good for up to three months.

tips to make Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon

  • For a quicker marinade, let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes instead of 30.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Keep an eye on the salmon while it bakes to ensure it doesn’t overcook. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Feel free to adjust the honey and soy sauce to fit your taste preferences.

You can add other ingredients to the marinade, such as ginger or sesame oil, for extra flavor. Another variation is to grill the salmon instead of baking it. Just ensure that the grill is preheated and lightly oiled before cooking the fish.
