Simple Salmon Glaze

This glaze is perfect when it’s 7pm, no meal plan and my fridge is out of fresh ingredients. I crack the freezer and grab a few frozen fillets, toss them in warm water and get started with prep. I then throw some frozen veggies and rice in my rice cooker and I have a healthy meal, quick as pizza delivery.
