Cook techniques
Grilling
Utilize a grill to achieve a smoky flavor and crispy skin on the salmon, ensuring even cooking by monitoring the heat.
Glazing
Apply the honey butter mixture towards the end of cooking to create a flavorful, caramelized glaze without burning the sugars.
Marinating
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the salmon in the honey butter mixture before cooking to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
Foil Cooking
Wrap the salmon in foil to retain moisture and create a steaming effect during cooking, which helps in achieving a tender texture.
Broiling
Broil the salmon for a quick cooking method that produces a nicely charred exterior while keeping the inside moist.
