Candied salmon

Candied salmon, a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, is a perfect dish for any occasion. This recipe combines fresh salmon with mustard, brown sugar, and lemon to create a beautifully glazed fish that is both simple to prepare and impressive to serve.

Ingredients:

24 oz salmon
680g
3 tbsp mustard
44g
1/2 cup brown sugar
110g
1/2 lemon
40g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the salmon from sticking.
2. Prepare the Salmon:
If the salmon has skin, you can choose to leave it on or remove it, depending on your preference. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to ensure that the glaze adheres properly.
3. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of mustard with the 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Stir until well blended. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the mixture and mix thoroughly. The glaze should have a thick but spreadable consistency.
4. Glaze the Salmon:
Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the glaze over the salmon, spreading it evenly with a brush or the back of a spoon to ensure the entire surface is coated.
5. Bake the Salmon:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake the salmon for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be caramelized and slightly crispy on top.
6. Rest and Serve:
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the salmon more flavorful and moist.
7. Garnish and Enjoy:
Optionally, you can garnish the salmon with some freshly chopped parsley or lemon zest for added flavor and presentation. Serve alongside your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.

- Ensure the mustard is evenly spread over the salmon to create a consistent layer for the brown sugar to adhere to.

- Preheat the oven before placing the salmon inside to ensure even cooking.

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon right before serving to enhance the flavors.

Candied salmon is a crowd-pleaser that balances sweetness with the rich taste of salmon. By following these steps and tips, you'll create a dish that is sure to impress your guests with its delicious glaze and tender texture. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful recipe for any meal or special occasion!
