Can I use frozen salmon?

Absolutely! Just thaw it completely in the fridge first (overnight works best). Pat it super dry before baking or your glaze won't stick properly.

How can I adjust the sweetness?

Easy! Start with 2 tbsp honey instead of 3, or add a splash more lemon juice to balance it out. Taste the glaze before brushing - it's your kitchen, your rules!

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Swap regular soy sauce for tamari, and you're golden! Just check that your other ingredients (like pre-minced garlic) don't contain sneaky additives.

Why brush the glaze twice?

That first layer soaks in while baking, and the second gives you that gorgeous sticky finish. Trust me - it makes all the difference!
