Fresh Garlic is Key: Don’t skimp on this; it’s what makes your sauce sing.
Experiment with Variations: Swap salmon for chicken or tofu for different tastes.
Marinate if You Can: Letting the salmon soak in the honey garlic mixture for 30 minutes before baking can enhance those flavors.
Get Creative with Seasonings: A little ginger or a dash of chili flakes can add an exciting twist!
