I have made this salmon recipe several times this spring and we really liked it. My wife likes hers cooked a little more than the recipe specifies, so I leave it under the broiler for a little longer to ensure the thickest part isn't quite so rare. I gauge doneness for this primarily by the amount of charring on top. You want the sugar to caramelize and char a little bit, but not so much that it turns into a blackened mess.

(Notwithstanding the URL, I have not done this in the toaster oven, primarily because usually we use that to heat up something else to go with the fish but also because I don't want fish spatter getting all over the toaster oven.)

food safety question:

I have a glass jar of honey with a metal top. Last year, I had to throw out half a jar because the top was impossible to open (soaked it in hot water multiple time, may have flipped it upside down in boiling water, just could not get it to budge). I just finished off a plastic honey container with a plastic flip top with a small hole. I've cleaned the plastic container pretty well (hot water to get rid of the hardened honey at the bottom and in the bottle, soaked it in detergent a couple of times). I'm thinking about just dumping the jar into the plastic container, but I'm a little worried about the safety of reusing the plastic container for this. Is there any reason to be concerned? Should I just go with the glass jar and wipe it down / clean it frequently?

Should be fine if you're going to use the honey within a month - longer than that is best in glass. Any form of cleaning causes chemicals to leach from the plastic, and creates micro-scratches which can harbor bacteria if repeatedly used beyond the short term.

makes sense. I don't trust cleaning plastic if I can't scrub it a bit inside the container. I think I will just wash the top of the glass very frequently,  maybe each time I get any honey on the rim
