COOK TIME 22 mins
SERVINGS 4 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, tightly packed1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 (8-ounce) skin-on salmon filets
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Position a rack in the center and line a baking sheet with foil; set it aside.
- For the glaze:
Combine brown sugar, mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-worthy.
- Prepare the salmon:
If you enjoy the skin, ensure it's dry by gently patting it with a clean dish towel or paper towel. If not, skip this step. Arrange the salmon fillets, skin side down, with some space between them, on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the glaze evenly over the fillets using a spoon, ensuring full coverage.
- Baking and serving:
Bake until the tops of the salmon are golden brown and slightly crispy. The salmon should feel firm to the touch and easily flake with a fork, typically 12 to 14 minutes. For thinner fillets (less than an inch thick), start checking at 10 minutes. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read between 125°F and 130°F for medium doneness. Transfer the salmon to plates using a spatula and serve while warm. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and warm slowly at 300°F to prevent drying out.
