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
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- 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 ensure the glaze sticks well. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Apply Glaze and Bake First Stage: Brush half of the prepared glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Apply Remaining Glaze and Bake Final Stage: Remove the salmon from the oven, brush the remaining glaze over the fillets, and return the salmon to the oven. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Rest and Garnish: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking. Then, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
- Patting the salmon dry before glazing helps the glaze adhere better.
- Fresh parsley not only adds flavor but also enhances the presentation.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 15-30 minutes before baking.
