Brown Sugar-Glazed Salmon: A Simple Delight

Salmon is one of those versatile fish that can be dressed up in various ways. This brown sugar-glazed salmon recipe, with a touch of Dijon mustard, is a personal favorite of mine. It's quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious. Let's dive right in!





Ingredients

- 4 boneless salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

- Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

- ¼ cup packed light brown sugar

- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard


Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Fire up your oven's broiler and adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat source. This will give our salmon the perfect caramelization.

2. Grease the Pan: Grab a broiler pan and give the rack a light coating of cooking spray. We want our salmon to slide off effortlessly after cooking.

3. Season the Salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and pepper. These simple seasonings will enhance the natural flavors of the fish.

4. Whisk the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and Dijon mustard. The sweetness of the sugar and the tanginess of the mustard will create a delightful glaze.

5. Spread the Love: Lay the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared broiler pan. Now, spoon that brown sugar-mustard mixture evenly over each fillet. Imagine you're giving them a cozy blanket of flavor.

6. Broil to Perfection: Pop the pan under the preheated broiler. Keep an eye on it—the magic happens quickly! In about 10 to 15 minutes, your salmon should flake easily with a fork. That's when you know it's ready.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Plate up your glazed salmon alongside some fluffy rice and steamed broccoli. The sweet-savory combo will have your taste buds doing a happy dance.
