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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (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 to remove excess moisture. Place the fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if skin is on.
- Apply First Glaze: Brush half of the glaze generously over the top of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake First Half: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to allow the glaze to start caramelizing and the fish to cook through partially.
- Apply Second Glaze: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the salmon fillets for an extra layer of flavor and shine.
- Bake Until Done: Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and have an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Rest and Garnish: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking to retain juices. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
- Check salmon internal temperature with a food thermometer to ensure safe consumption.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright finish but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For a gluten-free option, ensure soy sauce is gluten-free or substitute with tamari.
