Notes

If you have leftovers, store the salmon and sauce separately in airtight containers for optimal freshness. The salmon keeps for up to two days in the fridge, while the sauce lasts for about three days. Cold leftover salmon makes a fantastic salad topping too!
Use wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor and be sure to pat the salmon dry before seasoning to achieve a crispy exterior. Always allow the salmon to rest after grilling for the best flavor.
