Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon Recipe
Description
This recipe uses a simple mix of brown sugar, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard whisked together and applied liberally to fresh salmon fillets. Baking at 400°F for 10-12 minutes cooks the salmon through while allowing the sugars in the glaze to caramelize and form a lacquered finish on the fish's surface. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.
The final step of squeezing fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving cuts through the sweetness of the glaze and adds a fresh citrus note. This method yields salmon with a balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors and a moist, tender texture.
This glazed salmon can be served with rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs salmon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and dijon mustard in a small bowl with a whisk.
- Generously apply the brown sugar glaze onto the salmon fillets. It's okay if it drips off the sides. Bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes. Note: Salmon is cooked when its internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Before serving, squeeze lemon juice on top of the fillets. Enjoy!
