Garlic Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

Garlic Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon is absolutely our favorite way to cook this fish. We cook it all the time because it tastes great and is super easy to prepare. If you fish, especially salmon, this is definitely the recipe to go with! You will end up with a perfectly buttery fish with a crispy and caramelized finish. It will quickly become your go-to recipe that everyone will love!

The fish is coated with a wonderful brown sugar glaze that elevates the flavor tremendously. This gives it a sweet and tangy topping, that is super delicious and mind-blowing. Also, wrapping the salmon in foil when baking makes it so juicy and tender because it seals the ingredients together.

The combination of orange, brown sugar, and garlic is irresistible, and once you try it, we think it will become your favorite salmon dish!

How to make Garlic Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon?

• Since this is a fast recipe to make, the first step would be to have all of your ingredients together and ready.
• Also, we like to cook a whole filet, as it looks more festive. However, you could cut it in serving sizes prior to cooking.
• Take a relatively big piece of foil and lay it on a cookie sheet. Place the salmon pieces on the foil with the skin side facing down. Add some salt and pepper. Fold up the edges of the foil to create a pocket.
• Then, in a medium-sized bowl, add olive oil, light brown sugar, some honey, soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice, orange zest, and mix together.
• Pour the melted butter and the glaze mix over the salmon, and then add another piece of foil on top.
• Ensure the sides are crimping together and are properly sealed, and put it in the oven and bake.
• Baking the salmon in foil is one of the best ways to get a moist and juicy fish. It will cook evenly, and the glaze moisture will keep it just perfectly juicy!

How long does it take to bake salmon in foil?

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Seal the salmon in the foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. After, remove the top foil and baste some more glaze on the top and broil for another 2-3 minutes. When the salmon is done, slice it into individual portions for your family, and serve it with some green or veggies.

The flavor is incredible in this dish because the combination of butter, garlic, and brown sugar gives it such an amazing taste and aroma. It is the perfect recipe to feed and impress your family or guests. This is going to be a recipe that you will make again and again because it is SUPER delicious!

RECIPE TIPS:

• Remove fish from the fridge 15 minutes before you’re ready to start cooking.
• When broiling it, be careful not to burn it. The sauce/glaze will not need more than 2-3 minutes to thicken and glaze the fish.
• Also, you could add some dill or parsley to the dish to brighten the flavor.
• Similarly, the fish can be baked without the skin if you prefer. Both versions work perfectly fine for this recipe, depending on your preference.
• If you have some leftover, use it in the morning with some scrambled eggs, its the perfect way to start the day!
