Notes
- Do not overcook the salmon chasing a darker glaze. If you want more colour, switch to the grill for the final minute and watch it closely.
- The glaze should be sweet, salty, and sharp. If your lemon is mild, add another squeeze before baking.
- Serve with rice and greens so the extra glaze has somewhere useful to go.
- The Finke River jar gives the strongest edge. The Desert jar works if you want the glaze gentler.
