Instructions

1. For the Glaze: Whisk all ingredients together in a small saucepan and simmer over medium-high heat until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover.
2. For the Salmon: Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300.
3. Combine sugar, salt, cornstarch, and pepper in small bowl. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and rub sugar mixture evenly over flesh side of salmon.
