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
For 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 ensure easy cleanup.
- Make 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.
- Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze evenly over the top of each fillet to coat them thoroughly.
- Bake First Half: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. This initial bake helps set the flavors and starts the cooking process gently.
- Glaze and Finish Baking: Remove the salmon from the oven, brush the remaining glaze over each fillet, then return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Cook 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 to allow the juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Using fresh salmon fillets ensures the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs like dill or cilantro if parsley is unavailable.
- Check internal temperature with a food thermometer for best results.
- This glaze can also work well on other types of fish or even chicken.
