Description
This Texas Roadhouse-style salmon features a sticky-sweet caramelized glaze with a buttery finish and tender, flaky texture.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), skin on or skin removed if preferred
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium or tamari)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey (maple or agave syrup can be used)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them skin-side down on the prepared sheet.
- Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and combined.
- Brush about half of the glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Switch the oven to broil and broil for 30–60 seconds to achieve a caramelized top — watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For a lower-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari. You can also substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup for a plant-based option.
