6. Flip the salmon and cook for another 2 minutes.
7. Pour the glaze over the salmon and let it simmer for a minute.

Notes
Pat the salmon dry before cooking to help achieve a perfect sear and prevent excess moisture from interfering with caramelization.
Use a hot pan to sear the salmon for a crispy, golden crust before finishing it in the oven for tender, flaky results.
Experiment with variations like adding fresh ginger or a pinch of red pepper flakes to customize the glaze to your taste preferences.
