This is one of my favorite salmon recipes because it’s easy, fast and full of flavor. Instead of sugar, I use agave, which is so sweet that I only need to use a bit to get the right flavor. To balance this sweetness, I add lemon juice and some soy sauce, but you must be careful when cooking because agave syrup caramelizes – just like sugar – it leaves a golden and delicious brown crust on the salmon, but if the heat is too high, the salmon tends to get burned and bitter.
