Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet and brush half of the glaze over them.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then check for color change to opaque.
- Remove from oven, brush remaining glaze over the salmon, and return to oven for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Let the salmon rest for about 2 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve alongside rice or steamed vegetables.
Notes
Ensure salmon fillets are similar in thickness for even cooking. Apply the second layer of glaze for a glossy finish.
