Honey Coriander Make-Ahead Salmon

This Asian-inspired, Honey Coriander Make-Ahead Salmon is perfect for everyday-easy meals, but also makes a fabulous entree for a dinner party.
I've been testing out this recipe for the past few months and have tweaked it here and there until it's just right. The fishmonger at Whole Foods laughs every time I come in because I keep asking for "the prettiest fillets you have". I've served this delicious, melt-in-your-mouth-tender entree to friends and family numerous times, always to rave reviews. One bite elicits descriptions like, "wow!", "yum!", "delicious!", "amazing!"...
It seems to be a universally appealing dish that goes well with rice, couscous, polenta, mash potatoes and steamed or roasted veggies. It's also wonderful in salads.
As much as I love salmon, I'm not crazy about the aroma that's created as it (or any other fish) cooks on the stovetop. There's also the spatter that comes with searing fish. Not a wonderful thing just before guests arrive or (even worse) while entertaining them.
I love that the brunt of the work for this make-ahead salmon can be done early in the day. Then all that's left to do before dinner is to heat the oven and let the salmon get gloriously glazed. The "fish" aroma will be gone long before the doorbell rings and your kitchen can have that shining clean, no-one-ever-cooks-here appearance when your guests arrive!
