Description
Roasted Glazed Salmon with a sweet brown sugar and dijon glaze. This recipe is so easy and bakes up so juicy, tender and flaky.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 lbs salmon (cut into six, 5 ½-ounce filets)
- 1/2 lemon (sliced for garnish, optional)
- 1 Tbsp parsley (finely chopped to garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 400˚F with one rack positioned in the top third of your oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Step: In a small bowl, combine the sugar, mustard, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Step: Lay the fillets on the prepared baking sheet skin-side-down (if your fillets have skin) and spaced about 1 inch apart.
- Step: Generously spread the glaze over the top and sides of the fish. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 145˚F on an instant-read thermometer, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
For leaner or thinner wild-caught fillets, bake for 10 to 12 minutes. For thicker, fattier farmed fillets or king salmon, bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
