"A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea."
-Irish Proverb
The refrigerator light goes on...
You don't need a lot of oil for this glaze. As it roasts, the salmon gives up a bit of oil, and if you use more oil in the pan or the glaze, this will be, quite simply, too greasy.
The 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes is only sort of spicy and if you like REALLY spicy, add another 1/4 teaspoon.
