Description

This Texas Roadhouse-inspired salmon recipe features tender, flaky salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory mixture of brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and spices. Baked to perfection with a buttery finish, this dish offers a delightful balance of flavors and makes for an easy, delicious weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until you have a smooth, well-combined glaze.
  3. Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze generously over the top of each fillet.
  4. First bake: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes to start cooking the fish and caramelize the glaze slightly.
  5. Glaze and finish baking: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest and serve: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately for best flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is not overcooked to maintain its moist, tender texture.
  • Use a cooking thermometer to confirm the salmon reaches 145°F for safe consumption.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different type of sweetness.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice color contrast and mild freshness, but you can also use dill or chives.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the brown sugar slightly.
