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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare the 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 the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help the glaze adhere better, then place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze over the top of each fillet to coat them evenly.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets to enhance the flavor and create a glossy finish. 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 an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Use a food thermometer to ensure salmon reaches the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Patting salmon dry before glazing helps the glaze stick better and promotes caramelization.
- Brush the glaze twice during baking for a richer flavor and appealing glossy finish.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds color and a subtle herbaceous note, but can be omitted if preferred.
- Adjust spices to taste if you prefer sweeter or more savory flavors.
