Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this recipe will impress your family and guests with its simplicity and flavor.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and consistent glaze.
- Rinse the 24 oz of salmon under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a brush or spoon, evenly spread the mustard-brown sugar glaze over the top of the salmon fillets. Make sure each fillet is well-coated with the glaze mixture.
- Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh salmon for the best flavor. If using frozen salmon, ensure it is thoroughly thawed before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of mustard and brown sugar to suit your taste preferences. For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the salmon! Keep an eye on it while it's in the oven to ensure it remains moist and tender.
- Serve the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
- For an extra touch, consider garnishing the cooked salmon with fresh herbs such as parsley or dill.
With its irresistible combination of sweet and savory flavors, mustard-glazed brown sugar salmon is a crowd-pleaser that’s both easy to prepare and sure to delight. Follow the steps carefully, and don't forget to apply the tips for the best results. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious meal!
