Description

A delightful and simple dish that highlights the natural flavors of salmon, enhanced by garlic butter and a touch of sweetness.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons garlic butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Brush each fillet with garlic butter.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar spice mix evenly over the fillets.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
