Baked Salmon with Brown Sugar and Lime
This recipe combines the rich taste of salmon with the sweetness of brown sugar and the zing of fresh lime. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh lime slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will create a sweet and tangy marinade for your salmon.
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for about 15-20 minutes to soak in all those delicious flavors.
- Once marinated, allow any excess marinade to drip off the salmon and discard the leftover marinade.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- For an extra touch, you can broil the salmon for a couple of minutes at the end to get a nice caramelized top.
- When done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish it with fresh lime slices and serve it hot!
Serve your Baked Salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or over a bed of rice for a complete meal. Enjoy the blend of flavors in every bite!
