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 (for garnish)
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.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until you have a smooth, well-combined glaze.
- Prepare Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- First Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking and setting the glaze.
- Second Glaze and Bake: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush on the remaining glaze. Return the salmon 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).
- Rest and Serve: Let the cooked salmon rest for 2 minutes after baking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, herbal aroma and taste.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent salmon from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Adjust glaze ingredients to balance sweetness and saltiness according to your preference.
- For more smoky flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
- Salmon fillets can vary in thickness, so check doneness early to avoid overcooking.
