Brown Sugar–Soy Broiled Salmon
Brown Sugar–Soy Broiled Salmon balances caramelized sweetness with a gentle salty umami from soy, while broiling keeps the fish tender and flaky. The roasted red onions add a mellow bite and a touch of smokiness that complements the glaze. Serve this for a quick weeknight dinner or a simple, polished meal when you want bold flavor with minimal fuss.
