Mix in honey to thicken the glaze and add a pinch of salt.

Preheat the oven to 150°C with the fan (or 170°C without).

Place the salmon in the oven for 10 minutes to set the layer before basting.

Prepare the topping by hydrating dried cranberries in orange juice heated to a bubble for 15 minutes.

Roast pine nuts until golden brown, being careful not to burn them.

Glaze the salmon with the orange honey mixture after the first 10 minutes and return it to the oven for another 10 minutes.

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding the cream mixture on top.
