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, chopped (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 make cleanup easier.
- 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.
- Brush the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the prepared glaze evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet, brush the fillets with the remaining glaze, and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes. Bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and Serve: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is patted dry before applying glaze for better adherence and caramelization.
- Do not overbake; the salmon should be moist and flaky.
- Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 145°F for safety.
- Fresh parsley adds color and a mild herbal note but can be omitted if unavailable.
- This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings, adjusting baking time slightly if needed.
