Tips for Jelly Glazed Salmon

  • A glossy, lightly bubbling glaze and salmon that separates into moist flakes are useful doneness cues; avoid waiting for the glaze to become deeply browned.
  • A thin fillet may finish sooner than a thick one, so begin checking near the early end of the stated baking time.
  • Use a small baking dish that holds the fillet snugly to keep the glaze from spreading into a thin layer.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the salmon is done?

It should look opaque and separate into moist flakes when gently tested with a fork; check early if the fillet is thin.

Can I prepare the glaze ahead?
