Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• Lemon wedges, for serving

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

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

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

3. Glaze the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the glaze evenly over the top of each fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.

4. Bake the salmon: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

5. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
