Description
Garlic Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon is amazingly flavorful and an easy weeknight dinner to make. The salmon is infused with garlic and honey, then sealed in foil and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds salmon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons stone ground mustard
- zest of one orange
- juice of one lemon
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare: Then, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and transfer the fish into it with skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Fold: Fold up the sides of the aluminum foil around the salmon.
- Glaze: In a medium bowl whisk together all the ingredients except butter. Pour the glaze over the salmon and then spread the butter over the fish.
- Seal: Top the salmon with aluminum foil and seal.
- Bake: Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye not to overcook it.
- Broil: Lastly, uncover the foil off of the top and baste the salmon with some more sauce and butter and put on broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until brown and caramelized.
- Serve: Serve with a salad, greens, or veggies.
Notes
Remove fish from the fridge 15 minutes before you’re ready to start cooking. When broiling, be careful not to burn it; the glaze only needs 2-3 minutes to thicken. You may add dill or parsley for extra flavor, or bake the fish without skin if preferred.
