Brown Sugar Salmon

My son watches different food vloggers.  A few weeks ago he asked if we could have salmon made the way a gal he follows makes it.  I figured, sure why not. 


First have salmon fillets cut to the size each person wants.  I tend to buy mine with the skin in tact.  I use my Tupperware marinating container and if you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one.  To the container, add 1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce.  Add Sprigs of Fresh Dill.  Add Fresh Salmon and top with more dill.  

NOTE:  1/3 - 1/2 Lb per person is a nice size portion - center cut if you can get it.  If you buy the whole side that you plan to cut yourself, use the tail portion for whomever likes theirs more done.  Let the salmon marinate in the soy for about 30 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.  

Preheat oven to 350. Place salmon of a foil lined sheet pan and top generously with Light Brown Sugar - at least a 1/4 Cup each.  You can get it ready of to this point if you are having company.  Place the sheet pan directly in the refrigerator.

Place in preheated oven for about 20 mintes for medium temperature.  For medium rare temerature, add those fillets after about 5 minutes into cooking so they are ready at the same time.  

Remove from the oven when the sugar has bubbled and formed a light crust.  If at the end you want it a bit more crustier, use your broiler for a minute.  Add the drizzle from the sheet pan directly on the fish or on one of the sides you plan to serve.  Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before removing from the sheet pan.  

Interesting combination but tasty.  We actually made it a second time.
