Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
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
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze sticks well.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with half of the glaze mixture.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then remove the salmon and brush with the remaining glaze for extra flavor and shine.
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a fresh finish.

Tips & Variations

Use salmon fillets of similar thickness to ensure even cooking throughout.
Applying the glaze twice gives the salmon a beautiful shine and richer flavor.
For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
You can substitute fresh parsley with chopped cilantro or basil for a different herbaceous note.

Storage

Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 275°F (135°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through, to avoid drying out the fish.

FAQs

Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, but be sure to fully thaw the salmon and pat it dry before glazing and baking to achieve the best texture and flavor.

What if I don’t have brown sugar?

You can substitute light brown sugar or even coconut sugar as an alternative. White granulated sugar can work, but the flavor will be less rich.
