Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet (13 by 9 or 18 by 13-inch) with aluminum foil, spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Align salmon pieces on baking sheet leaving some space between them. Season top with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl whisk together brown sugar, mustard, lemon zest, and garlic.

Step 4

Spoon and spread brown sugar mustard mixture evenly over salmon.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until cooked through, about 11 - 14 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon and desired degree of doneness. I cook to internal temperature in the thickest portion of 125 to 135 degrees, but for food safe the USDA recommends 145 which is well done).

Step 6

If desired garnish with parsley for a little pop of color.
