For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of honey to the marinade. If you don't have a grill, you can broil the salmon in the oven. Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet and broil for about 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon or omit it altogether. Ensure your grill is hot before placing the salmon on it. This helps to create a nice sear and prevents the fish from sticking. Leftover salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's delicious cold in salads or sandwiches.
