Notes

Reducing the glaze to a sticky, thick consistency will ensure that it sticks to the salmon fillets, without sliding off them straight away. Reduce it until the glaze coats the back of a spoon, stirring often will help avoid any lumps forming.
Pat dry the salmon fillets before seasoning with salt and pepper. Removing excess moisture will ensure a lovely golden crust, rather than steaming the fillets.
Avoid overcooking the salmon, if you cook it at a higher temperature, it's likely to be cooked in about 15 minutes, so do keep an eye on it. The thickness of the salmon will dictate the cooking time.
