Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
Glaze
- 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
Garnish
- 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 paper towels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake first round: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 8 minutes to start cooking and caramelize the glaze slightly.
- Glaze and finish baking: Remove the salmon from the oven, brush the remaining glaze over the fillets, then return them to the oven. 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 (63°C).
- Rest and garnish: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh salmon fillets with skin removed or leave skin on as preferred.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
- Make sure to pat the salmon dry thoroughly to allow the glaze to stick better.
- Monitor the salmon closely during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking, which can dry it out.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
