Brown Sugar Salmon
Brown Sugar Salmon features a glossy, sweet-salty glaze made with maple syrup, brown sugar, and soy sauce that bakes into a lightly caramelized crust. The fish stays moist and flaky with a gentle umami depth and toffee-like notes from the sugars. Ideal for a weeknight dinner, it pairs naturally with steamed vegetables and rice.
