1-Getting this brown sugar glazed salmon just right: starts with simple steps that anyone can follow. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and setting the oven rack to its highest spot for that perfect broil later. This setup ensures the glaze caramelizes beautifully without overcooking the fish.

2-Next: line your broiler pan with foil or give it a quick spray with non-stick coating to make cleanup a breeze. Lay the salmon fillets skin-side down on the pan and season them with salt and pepper to bring out their natural flavors. In a small bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup (50 g) packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard until smooth this is your glaze, ready to shine.

3-Spoon the glaze: evenly over each fillet, making sure every piece gets a good coating. Pop the pan into the preheated oven for about 10 minutes to let the salmon bake nicely. Then, switch to broil and move the pan to the top rack, letting it cook for another 5-10 minutes until the glaze turns golden and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to avoid any burning, and you’ll have a dish that’s flaky and full of flavor. For a twist, you can try cooking this in an air fryer by preheating to 400°F (200°C) and cooking the glazed salmon for 5-7 minutes, checking as needed based on your model.

4-Final Touches for Serving: Once done, pull the salmon out and let it rest a bit since it continues cooking off the heat. If you want to explore another delicious salmon dish for variety, this method pairs well with creative ideas. Serve it up with fresh herbs or lemon wedges for a bright finish, adapting to your family’s tastes.
