Elevate your dinner game with this sweet and tangy roasted salmon recipe that’s bound to impress! A perfect harmony of flavors awaits you.
Ingredients:
– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 3 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
– ½ teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)
– 1 teaspoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika (if using) until smooth and well mixed. Put aside for later use.
2. Prep the salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Lay the fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle olive oil over them, gently rubbing it in.
3. Glaze and roast: Generously spoon the brown sugar mustard glaze over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place the salmon in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
4. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the glazed salmon fillets to plates. Finish with freshly chopped parsley or dill on top and serve with lemon wedges on the side to add a bright and fresh touch.
