Each fillet has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a pale pink cooked flesh with a soft, flaky texture; the middle layer is a slightly darker pink with a firmer texture; the top layer is a glossy, deep reddish-brown caramelized coating with bits of herbs and spices sprinkled over it. The salmon has a shiny, moist look with a charred edge on one side, capturing warm natural light that highlights the juicy and tender nature of the fish. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

  3. Step 3: Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with half of the glaze mixture.
  4. Step 4: Bake the salmon for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush 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 from the oven, let it rest for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Swap parsley for cilantro or dill to change up the fresh herb note.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
  • Use a cooking thermometer to ensure salmon is perfectly cooked without drying out.

Storage

Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 275°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to maintain moisture and flavor.

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
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon fillets dry to ensure the glaze adheres well.
  2. 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 combined.
  3. Apply First Glaze: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with half of the glaze mixture, coating evenly.
  4. Initial Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking and allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
  5. Apply Second Glaze and Continue Baking: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze on top. Return 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: Take the salmon out of the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure salmon is patted dry for better glaze adhesion and caramelization.
  • Check doneness with a thermometer to avoid overcooking; salmon should reach 145°F internally.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the amount of brown sugar slightly.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a side of rice for a complete meal.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice pop of color and freshness but can be substituted with cilantro if preferred.
