Enjoy a delightfully tender and flavorful salmon dish that combines a savory soy sauce glaze with a touch of sweetness from brown sugar. The caramelized crust contrasts beautifully with the succulent salmon, making it a perfect meal to impress!
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish or rectangular casserole dish, and pour the soy sauce mixture over them. Ensure the fillets are submerged in the sauce.
3
Marinate the salmon fillets for 30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even marination.
4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
5
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, letting the excess sauce drip off, and place them skin-side down in the hot skillet.
6
Cook the fillets for 3 minutes on the skin-side. While they cook, sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the flesh side of the fillets.
7
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a caramelized crust on top.
8
Serve the Caramelized Soy Glazed Salmon immediately, pairing it with steamed white rice or your preferred side dish.
