Add some heat to this dish by using more wasabi powder and / or add some soy sauce to it to cool it down if it is too spicy.
Oven Baked Salmon with Honey Soy Glaze TIPS
Feel free to marinate the salmon up to 24 hours in advance if you have time or just roll with it last minute as is. I recommend at least 30 minutes in the honey soy sauce marinade.
Don't have mirin? Use rice vinegar instead with 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Wild salmon generally cooks faster than farmed salmon due to it being thinner and less fatty. Adjust the cooking time down if you've got a thinner salmon fillet.
Remove the Pin Bones from Salmon if Needed
Pin bones are the little bones that are sometimes in a fish filet. They are annoying at the least.
Remove them with some tweezers by pulling them away gently. Pull them away in the direction that you think they got in.
