In a small bowl, whisk together the melted dark chocolate, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard.

Tips for Chocolate Glazed Salmon

Choose a fillet of even thickness so it cooks more uniformly; a thinner tail end may finish sooner.
The glaze should look glossy and cling to the fish; if it thickens as it cools, gently warm it until brushable.
Use a lined baking dish for easier cleanup, as honey and chocolate can leave a sticky residue.
