Description

This Texas Roadhouse Salmon recipe features tender, flavorful salmon fillets glazed with a sweet and savory mix of brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and spices. Baked to perfection in the oven, this dish offers an easy yet impressive meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or special dinners. Garnished with fresh parsley, the salmon is moist, flaky, and deliciously caramelized.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Glaze

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a flavorful glaze.
  3. Glaze Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the glaze generously over the tops of the salmon fillets, ensuring an even coating.
  4. Bake First Half: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. This initial baking will begin cooking the fish and caramelizing the glaze.
  5. Apply Remaining Glaze and Finish Baking: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fillets. Return them to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes until the salmon is cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the salmon rest for 2 minutes once out of the oven to allow juices to redistribute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a touch of color and fresh herb flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is fully thawed if previously frozen for even cooking.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
  • For a spicier glaze, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • The glaze can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
