How should I know when the salmon is perfectly cooked?

Cook the salmon until it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. An internal temperature of 63°C (145°F) ensures doneness.

Can I prepare the glaze in advance?

Yes, whisking the honey mustard glaze ahead of time allows the flavors to meld, and marinating the salmon for 10–15 minutes enhances taste.

Steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad complement the glazed salmon well, balancing the meal with light textures.

Maple syrup can replace honey for a different sweetness profile, and adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.

A baking sheet lined with foil, a mixing bowl, whisk or spoon, and optionally a pastry brush for glazing are needed.
