Ingredients

6 servings
  • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs salmon (cut into six, 5 ½-ounce filets (boneless, skin-on, or skinless))
  • 1/2 lemon (sliced for garnish, optional)
  • 1 Tbsp parsley (finely chopped to garnish, optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F with one rack positioned in the top third of your oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, mustard, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  3. Lay the fillets on the prepared baking sheet skin-side-down (if your fillets have skin) and spaced about 1 inch apart.

  4. Generously spread the glaze over the top and sides of the fish. Bake for 10-15 minutes*, or until the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 145˚F on an instant-read thermometer, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
