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 fully combined.
- Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the brown sugar glaze evenly over the top of each fillet to coat them well.
- Bake First Phase: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 8 minutes, allowing the glaze to set and the fish to begin cooking.
- Bake Second Phase: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over each fillet. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue baking 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 the juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
- Use fresh parsley for best garnish flavor and appearance.
- You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a slight variation.
- For a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of brown sugar or honey slightly.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
