Description

This restaurant-style Texas Roadhouse Salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon fillets baked to perfection with a sweet and savory glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven. The glaze combines brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and spices for a delightful mix of flavors finished with fresh parsley garnish.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy exterior when baked.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Coat the Salmon Fillets: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with half of the glaze, covering both the tops and sides thoroughly.
  4. Bake for Initial Time: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking and set the glaze.
  5. Add More Glaze and Finish Baking: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze to enhance flavor and create a shiny finish. Return to the oven and 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).
  6. Serve Hot: Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry helps achieve a crispier crust.
  • Use a food thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches the safe temperature of 145°F.
  • Adjust baking time slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  • The glaze can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
