# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- The honey glaze makes salmon taste like something youd order at a restaurant, but its secretly so easy.
- Theres something deeply satisfying about building your own colorful bowl with all the fresh, crunchy toppings.
02 -
- The first time I skipped lining the tray, the glaze welded itself to the pan—parchment paper is non-negotiable now.
- Letting the salmon rest a few minutes after baking makes it juicier and easier to lift onto your bowl without breaking.
03 -
- If your salmon sticks, let it rest for a minute and itll release much more easily.
- A little extra grated ginger in the glaze makes it sing—add it to taste.
