Description
Savory Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze in Just 20 Minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces Salmon Fillets (wild-caught versions preferred)
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar (adds sweetness and caramelization)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (for umami flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard (adds tangy depth)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (helps glaze adhere)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (amplifies flavor)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper (adds subtle heat)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or give it a light grease to avoid sticking.
- Whisk the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake the Salmon: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and appears opaque.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salmon fillets and pour any remaining glaze over the top. Serve with your favorite sides.
