Servings: 6 people ¼ cup packed light brown sugar 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil ½ tsp fine sea salt ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper 2 lbs salmon, cut into six, 5 ½-ounce filets (boneless, skin-on, or skinless) 1/2 lemon, sliced for garnish, optional 1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped to garnish, optional
Preheat the oven to 400˚F with one rack positioned in the top third of your oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, mustard, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Lay the fillets on the prepared baking sheet skin-side-down (if your fillets have skin) and spaced about 1 inch apart.
Generously spread the glaze over the top and sides of the fish.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 145˚F on an instant-read thermometer, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
