Notes
- I added slightly more honey because the chile was spicy. Caution: do not over heat the honey, you just want it to melt, creating a glaze. Also, cooking time may vary on salmon depending on the thickness of the filets. I do not like overcooked fish. Three minutes on each side was perfect for these filets that were about 1 - 1.5 inches thick. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
