Salmon can be one of the most disappointing dishes when it goes wrong. Overcook salmon by just a few minutes and it becomes dry, chalky and lacking the rich flavour you expect.

Even well-seasoned fish can fall flat if it isn’t given something to keep it moist and tender. The good news is that one simple sauce can completely transform the dish, keeping the salmon flaky and juicy from the first bite to the last, according to a chef at RecipeTin Eats.

The cook suggests a honey-garlic glaze that "caramelises beautifully," creating a glossy, flavourful finish.

Nagi, the cook behind RecipeTin Eats shared: "It’s a terrific, quick, and easy way to cook salmon that makes the most of all that we love about salmon – it’s juicy flesh, the salmon flavour, and how the surface caramelises beautifully when seared with the right sauce."

This recipe only needs six essential ingredients and takes just 15 minutes to cook. Nagi's dish aims to serve up to two people but can easily be altered if you are serving more people.
