This is, after sushi of course, my absolute favourite way of eating salmon! It’s sticky, sweet, slightly crispy on the edge and full of flavour!
It’s super easy to make and there’s no need to marinade the fish if you don’t have the time, making it the perfect mid-week dinner.
This would work with other fish such as tuna, mackerel, and even white fish such as cod.
