Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika to create the glaze.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the glaze, reserving some for later.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: During the last 3 minutes of baking, brush the salmon again with the remaining glaze to build a sticky, flavorful coating.
Step 6: Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra crisp skin, you can sear the salmon fillets in a hot skillet skin-side down for 2-3 minutes before baking.
Swap fresh parsley with chopped cilantro or chives for a different herbal note.
If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.

Storage

Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a 300°F (150°C) oven until warmed through, being careful not to overcook the fish.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Marinade and Seasoning

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until the salmon starts to caramelize and is golden brown.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked through and flaky.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the skillet, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for brightness and flavor, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Do not overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
You can substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
Marinating for longer than 15 minutes is fine but avoid exceeding 30 minutes to prevent the soy sauce from overpowering the fish.
