Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Black pepper
1/2 tsp, freshly ground
Ginger
1 tsp, grated
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Soy sauce
1/4 cup
Brown sugar
1/2 cup
Salmon fillets
4 (6-ounce) fillets

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and freshly ground black pepper. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved to create your flavorful glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow, oven-safe baking dish. Pour the brown sugar-soy mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well covered.
  4. Bake the salmon in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The salmon should flake easily with a fork and have a beautifully caramelized top.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes to absorb the sauce.
  6. Serve hot, spooning some of the sauce from the baking dish over the top of each fillet before serving.

Tips

  • 💡 For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon fillets in the brown sugar-soy mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or over a bed of fluffy rice for a complete meal.
