Notes
To make this gluten-free, ensure you use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
Salmon is perfectly cooked at an internal temperature of 145°F, but can be pulled at 135°F for a more tender texture after resting.
If you don't have store-bought hot honey, mix 3 tablespoons of regular honey with 0.5 teaspoon of red chili flakes.
