Tips for Ketchup Glazed Salmon

• Look for salmon fillets about 1-inch thick for even cooking and a moist center.
• The glaze should be sticky and glossy; if too runny, simmer it briefly before brushing.
• Check doneness by gently pressing the salmon; it should flake easily but still look moist inside.

Ingredient substitutions

• ketchup: tomato paste mixed with a little honey or sugar and vinegar
• soy sauce: tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option
• honey: maple syrup or agave nectar
• minced garlic: garlic powder or garlic-infused oil

Storage and reheating

Store leftover cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until steaming hot.
