Tips for Making Perfect Candied Salmon
Here are some tips to make sure your candied salmon turns out perfectly:
Choose High-Quality Salmon
The key to making delicious candied salmon is to start with high-quality salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that's fresh and has a bright pink color.
Cut the Salmon into Even Pieces
To ensure that your salmon cooks evenly, cut it into even pieces. This will also make it easier to marinate and bake.
Marinate the Salmon for at Least 30 Minutes
Marinating the salmon will infuse it with flavor and make it more tender. Be sure to marinate it for at least 30 minutes, but you can leave it in the marinade for up to 24 hours for more flavor.
Use Parchment Paper
To prevent the salmon from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper. This will also make it easier to clean up.
Cook Until Crispy
To get that perfect crispy texture, cook the salmon until the edges are crispy and the salmon is cooked through. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
Variations
Here are some variations of candied salmon that you can try:
Spicy Candied Salmon
To add some heat to your candied salmon, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Citrus Candied Salmon
For a citrusy flavor, add the juice of one orange or lemon to the marinade.
Maple Candied Salmon
Replace the honey with maple syrup for a sweet and smoky flavor.
