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 and prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry to remove excess moisture, ensuring better glaze adhesion and even cooking.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and well combined. This glaze will give your salmon its signature sweet, savory, and slightly smoky flavor.
- Apply first glaze and bake: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush them with half of the glaze mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to begin cooking and infuse the glaze flavors.
- Apply second glaze and continue baking: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze to add shine and deepen flavor. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Rest and garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes to help retain its juices. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish, then serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use salmon fillets of similar thickness to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Applying a second coat of glaze gives the salmon a beautiful shine and enhances the flavor.
- Ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for food safety and ideal doneness.
- Resting the salmon briefly after baking helps retain moisture and juiciness.
- For extra caramelization, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
