Notes

• Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Pat salmon dry before cooking to help the skin crisp up.
• Don't overcook salmon; it should be moist and tender inside.
• Leftover salmon can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
• Prepare the sauce ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
