Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon
So simple and delicious, this brown sugar glazed salmon is one of the easiest baked salmon recipes you'll ever try. A quick one pan meal for any night.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb fillet of salmon trimmed and cleaned, skin on is fine
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bunch asparagus or other quick cooking vegetable
- 1 whole lemon cut into thin slices
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Parsley or other herb to garnish
Brown Sugar Spice Rub
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or tinfoil.
- Mix all the spices together in a bowl and break up and clumps with your fingers. Set the mixture aside and trim/ prepare any vegetables you wish to roast along side the salmon.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on the lined sheet pan, and place the salmon fillet on top of this skin side down. Slide the fish around to coat the pan with oil and prevent the fish from sticking.
- Evenly spread the spice mixture over top of the salmon, keeping as much of it on the fish as possible to prevent the sugar from simply burning on the pan.
- Toss the prepared vegetables with the remaining olive oil, and spread the vegetables out evenly around the salmon fillet. Top the vegetables with the sliced lemon to keep it moist, and infuse a little flavor into it as it cooks.
- Bake the salmon and vegetables at 400F for 15 minutes. Then switch the oven to broil, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes to crisp up the sugar glaze.
- Remove the brown sugar glazed salmon from the oven, check the internal temperature, portion the fish and serve immediately.

Notes
- In regards to the vegetable used I would recommend using a green vegetable such as green beans, asparagus (as I have done here), or broccoli and red bell pepper. The key is that whatever vegetable you choose should cook in 20 minutes at 400F. A root vegetable for example will most likely still be under cooked after this time.
- If you want to add a little bit of spice to the baked salmon, simply add ½ - 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the spice mixture.
