Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (5–6 oz each, skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred, or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing pan; or avocado oil/melted butter)
  • Optional: lemon slices (for serving)
  • Optional: fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and brush lightly with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
  4. Brush each salmon fillet evenly with the glaze, reserving about a tablespoon for later.
  5. Optional: Let the glazed salmon rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to soak in.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 12-15 minutes (for 1-inch thick fillets), or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. Adjust time for thinner or thicker fillets.
  7. Halfway through baking, brush the reserved glaze over the fillets for extra flavor and shine.
  8. Check for doneness: salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and be opaque and moist.
  9. Garnish with parsley, dill, sesame seeds, and lemon slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for best results. Don’t overbake—start checking at 10 minutes for thinner fillets. Glaze twice for extra flavor. Use parchment for easy cleanup. Let salmon rest a few minutes after baking for juicier results. For gluten-free, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
