The salmon has two visible layers: the bottom layer is a tender light orange with flaky texture, while the top layer is a rich, glossy dark reddish-brown glaze with small green herb bits sprinkled on top. The glaze looks sticky and shiny, covering the fish fully and giving a caramelized effect. The salmon edges show slight charring and crispiness. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry to ensure the glaze sticks well.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet with half of the glaze mixture, coating them evenly.
  4. Step 4: Bake the salmon for 8 minutes. After this, remove the pan from the oven and brush the fillets with the remaining glaze.
  5. Step 5: Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Step 6: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a smoky twist, add a pinch of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
  • If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a small amount of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
  • Use fresh lemon juice squeezed over the salmon just before serving to brighten the flavors.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari.

Storage

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave, covered, to retain moisture. Avoid overcooking during reheating to keep the salmon tender.

Main 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels to ensure the glaze sticks well.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and combined thoroughly.
  3. Apply First Glaze: Place the salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet. Using a brush, coat each fillet evenly with half of the prepared glaze, making sure every piece is well covered for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake First Round: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. This allows the glaze to infuse the fish and begin caramelizing.
  5. Apply Second Glaze & Continue Baking: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the remaining glaze onto each salmon fillet. 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.
  6. Rest and Garnish: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness before serving.

Notes

  • Patting the salmon dry before glazing helps the flavors adhere better and prevents steaming during baking.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Check the internal temperature of salmon with a food thermometer to ensure it is fully cooked but not overdone.
  • Fresh parsley adds a touch of color and a mild herbaceous note but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in sweetness by modifying the amount of honey or brown sugar to taste.
