Easy, Impressive Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

This foil-baked sheet pan salmon is a simple, good-for-you, unfussy dinner with minimal cleanup (read: it checks all the weeknight boxes). Serve it with white or brown rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad, and you’ve got a tasty and easy meal on your hands. Here are some quick tips for success.
A Foolproof Technique for Flaky, Juicy Fish

En papillote is a French technique that involves steaming food, often fish or vegetables, inside a parchment paper packet. This recipe uses that technique but opts for foil instead of parchment, which does a better job of catching any liquids that spill out as the salmon cooks. Still, I like to place the packet on a rimmed baking sheet for extra insurance (it’s easier to clean a sheet pan than the oven).

The key component to a successful en papillote is sealing the sides tightly so that steam doesn’t escape. It’s a good idea to measure the foil alongside the length of the salmon so that you cut a piece large enough to cover it. Once in the oven, the liquid inside bubbles and the trapped heat steams the fish, creating a delicate, flaky, and juicy piece of salmon.

This is delicious! I added some of the lemon zest to the sauce and went easy on salt as my soya was traditional not low salt.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

•     2 pounds salmon I used Atlantic salmon
•     1/4 cup soy sauce
•     1/4 cup brown sugar
•     2 Tablespoons olive oil
•     1 teaspoon salt
•     juice of one lemon
•     3 garlic cloves minced
•     garnish with sliced lemons and chopped parsley if desired
•     1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay the salmon on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up the sides of the aluminum foil around the salmon.
2. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the glaze over the salmon. Top the salmon with aluminum foil and seal.
3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until salmon is cooked throughout. Take the foil off of the top and baste the salmon with the sauce in the foil. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until brown and caramelized. Garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley if desired.
