Sugar Glazed Salmon

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends! I’m serving my Sugar Glazed Salmon for supper! Let me walk you through it and you can serve these delicious filets to your hungry bunch.

“Sugar Glazed Salmon”

1 and 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
1/3 cup Teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon garlic
1 teaspoon ginger
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
Juice of one lemon squeezed over the finished salmon steaks

I’ve started our salmon supper off by preparing a marinade, using Teriyaki sauce, olive oil, a bit of water, minced garlic, ginger, lemon pepper, and brown sugar. Then I took about a pound and a half of salmon fillets, closed them up in a Ziploc bag with the marinade and popped ’em in the fridge for a couple hours.

Afterwards, I seared them in my heavy cast iron skillet, about a minute or so. This allows the brown sugar glaze a chance to give ’em a good char on both sides. We love that. Then I sealed them up in a foil packet and finished cooking them in the oven– 15 minutes at 450– that’ll do it. Those foil packets will keep our fillets nice and tender. Note, you can also toss these on the grill if you want to cook outside. Just grill ’em about 8 minutes per side, or until they flake with a fork.

That’s it, y’all! I’ll take my Sugar Glazed Salmon Fillets and serve ’em with pasta, salad, or nice, buttery rice. It’s good eating, from the All Things Southern kitchen to yours.
