Tender oven-baked salmon fillets glazed with a rich, sweet, and savory brown sugar honey sauce. A quick and flavorful dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skinless)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Stir until sugar dissolves and sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour glaze evenly over salmon, reserving a few spoonfuls for serving.
  6. Bake uncovered for 12–15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Optional: Broil for the last 2 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
  8. Drizzle with reserved glaze, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Broil briefly for a caramelized finish on top.
  • Pair with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing the honey or brown sugar slightly.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
  • This recipe can also be made on the grill for a smoky twist.
