Sweet Soy-Garlic Broiled Salmon

Sweet Soy-Garlic Broiled Salmon balances a glossy, caramelized glaze with rich, tender fish. The brown sugar and soy sauce meld into a slightly sticky coating brightened by lemon pepper and fresh garlic. Serve it for a quick weeknight dinner or a simple dinner-party main with rice and steamed greens.

Sweet Soy-Garlic Broiled Salmon
  1. 1

    Whisk the soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, lemon pepper, and garlic in a shallow dish; place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the marinade; marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 8 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Move the salmon fillets from the marinade to a baking sheet. Discard any leftover marinade.

  3. 3

    Broil the salmon until lightly browned and the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 10 minutes. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
