Tips:

Use fresh salmon: Fresh salmon has a firmer texture and richer flavor than frozen salmon. If you're using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking.
Choose the right glaze: There are many different types of glazes that you can use for salmon. Some popular options include maple glaze, honey glaze, and teriyaki glaze. Choose a glaze that you think will complement the flavor of the salmon.
Cook the salmon to the right temperature: Salmon is best cooked to a medium-rare or medium temperature. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the salmon from drying out.
