I found the recipe online , but i altered it here and there , and i thought the glazed was delicious .You can always broil the salmon in the oven , but this is kinda risky , because it gets really hot , if the fillet is thick on one side and thin on the other side , you&#8217;ll risk to burn the salmon . Or under cook it .. yuck . Or you can always grill it , which is a great choice in my opinion . If i had my grill i would have chosen that , but my grill is in the storage still . Now , i ended up with 1 choice only , i used skillet , non stick skillet to cook this salmon fillet .
