Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Marinade

  • 1 lb. salmon fillet
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Combine the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is well mixed.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Pour half of the prepared sauce over the salmon fillet. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse the fish.
  3. Bake the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or casserole dish with foil and place the marinated salmon on it. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  4. Baste During Cooking: Halfway through baking, remove the salmon briefly to baste it generously with the remaining half of the marinade to keep it moist and enhance the glaze.
  5. Serve: Once baked, remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use fresh salmon fillets with skin on, which helps retain moisture during baking.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can simmer the marinade separately until it reduces before using it to baste.
  • Leftover salmon can be served cold or reheated gently to preserve its texture.
