Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon


I'm not a HUGE seafood person, but I love a good salmon steak. This recipe is tasty and is perfect alongside my mushroom rice pilaf recipe and a veggie. My husband even suggested cutting each fish steak into three pieces so the fish gets covered in more glaze. My little ones even loved it! Serves 4. Enjoy!

Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

4 - 6 oz salmon steaks
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c olive oil
2 tsp lemon pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning*

1. Mix brow sugar, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon pepper, garlic and Italian seasoning in an 11x7 baking dish. Add salmon, turning to coat. If salmon has skin attached, lay skin-side up. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 4 to 8 hours, turning every 2 hours or so.
2. Set oven rack 6" from heat source and preheat broiler. Meanwhile, line baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place salmon fillets on foil 1" apart. Discard marinade.
3. Broil salmon until lightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork; time depends on thickness of salmon steaks. Let salmon sit 5 minutes before serving.

* If you don't have Italian seasoning, you can replace with 1/4 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp dried basil and 1/4 tsp dried parsley.

  1. Made this on Sunday and Adam said it was some of the best salmon he has ever had! (I also didn't have enough soy sauce, so I improvised with a little teriyaki sauce and worcestershire.)

    1. I'm glad you enjoyed it! We didn't have fish growing up so I've enjoyed trying many new recipes!
