Delicious Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 fillets salmon (skinless, boneless)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, ginger, and lemon juice until well combined.

    Ensure the sugar dissolves completely for a smooth glaze.
  2. Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    The longer you marinate, the more flavor the salmon will absorb.
  3. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    A hot oven ensures a nice caramelization of the glaze.
  4. Bake the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

    Check for doneness; salmon should flake easily with a fork.
  5. Serve

    Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

    Pair with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
