Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish with nonstick spray.
Transfer the salmon fillets to the prepared dish. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.

Notes

Don’t marinate longer than an hour, or the salmon can become too salty.
Skin-on fillets hold together better while baking.
Watch closely under the broiler, as the glaze can burn quickly.
Leftovers keep for 2 days in the fridge and reheat best in a low oven.
