Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Glaze
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to help the glaze adhere better. Place the fillets evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply First Glaze: Brush half of the prepared glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake First Round: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking the fish and allowing the glaze to set.
- Apply Second Glaze: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets for an extra layer of sweetness and seasoning.
- Finish Baking: Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Rest and Garnish: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh salmon fillets with skin removed or on, depending on preference.
- Ensure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Adjust seasoning including garlic powder and paprika to taste if preferred spicier or milder.
- Serve alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to make a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and eaten cold or gently reheated.
