You can adjust the sweetness or tanginess of the glaze by altering the amounts of honey and lemon juice. This glaze works well with other types of fish and can also be used as a marinade for chicken or vegetables. For added flavor, consider garnishing the dish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, before serving.
