 Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• ¼ cup packed brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Lemon wedges, for serving

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic until well combined.

3. Season Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Apply Glaze: Generously brush the brown sugar glaze over each fillet, ensuring an even coating.

5. Bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.

6. Optional Broil: For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon for the last 1–2 minutes of baking.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
