Notes
Prefer to skip the stovetop?
You can place the seasoned salmon fillets straight into an oven-safe dish, pour the sauce over the top, and bake at 180°C for 15–20 minutes, or until cooked through and flaking easily with a fork. It won’t have the same golden colour on top, but it’s still full of flavour and a great hands-off option for busy nights.
