Ingredients
- 3-4 salmon fillets (about 5-6 ounces each)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Optional garnish: lemon wedges, chopped fresh parsley, basil, thyme, or chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with nonstick spray. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared pan. Season the top of each fillet with plenty of salt and pepper. Sprinkle with garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard and brown sugar until smooth.
- Spread the Dijon mixture on top of each salmon fillet.
- Roast the salmon in the oven for 8-11 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For a crispy, browned exterior, place the salmon under the broiler during the final 1-2 minutes of cooking time. Just make sure that you keep a close eye on it so that the sugars don’t burn. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes
- You don't need to use all of the brown sugar glaze on your fish. Adjust the amount of seasoning and the amount of glaze to suit your taste.
- Season the fish with other herbs and spices before adding the glaze. We love to sprinkle on some of this all-purpose seasoning, but dried herbs, paprika, or even spicy cayenne would be great, too.
