I love to make salmon, and I have a couple go to recipes I use to prepare it. But I’m bored. I want a new way to enjoy my favorite fish. So I googled (of course I did) and found this recipe from Martha Stewart’s website. It’s easy, I already had everything in the house (score!) and it’s delicious. I served this salmon with some simple white rice, but I bet it would be really good with some Fried Rice too.
Soy-Glazed Salmon
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 pounds salmon fillet
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, with a rack in the center. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir brown sugar, oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and water until the sugar has dissolved.
-
Cut salmon into 4 equal-sized fillets; arrange skin side down, in a single layer in a foil-lined baking dish. Pour glaze over the fish and brush glaze over top to coat evenly.
-
Bake until fish is opaque but still bright pin inside, 15 to 20 minutes. Baste fish every 4 to 5 minutes with glaze from baking dish. Serve with lemon wedges.
I love using foil for this recipe for easy clean up. The skin will stick to the foil a little, if you carefully slide your spatula between the meat of the fish and the skin they will separate for you.
