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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for Initial Time: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking and set the glaze.
- 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).
- 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.
