Description

This brown sugar glazed salmon recipe is pan-seared to perfection with a mouthwatering sweet and savory sticky sauce. It’s an easy 30-minute meal that picky eaters love!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh salmon
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-20 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and pat it dry with paper towel. Season with salt & pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add the sauce ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
  3. Step 3: Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the pan for a few minutes.
  4. Step 4: Cook the salmon (skin-side down) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and flip the salmon over and cook for another 2-3 minutes (should be almost cooked through).
  5. Step 5: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, then pour in the sauce (just pour it in between the salmon pieces). Let it bubble/thicken for 20-30 seconds or so, and then take the pan off the heat (the pan will still be hot and the sauce will continue to thicken, but this avoids burning it). Flip the salmon over & spoon the sauce over top.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately.

Notes

The salmon used was approximately 1 inch thick; adjust cooking time if thickness varies. Do not crowd the pan to ensure a proper sear. Frozen ginger is easier to grate using a Microplane grater.
