Sweet Spicy Glazed Salmon - 6

Source of Recipe

4 servings


List of Ingredients

2 lb Atlantic salmon fillet
3 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar
1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
4 tsp Chinese hot-style mustard (in Chinese section in store)
1 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp hoisin sauce (in Chinese section in store)




Recipe

Preheat oven to 425.

Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, chinese mustard, rice vinegar and hoison sauce in a bowl and mix up well.
To BAKE:
Place Salmon on a foil lined baking sheet. Baste some of the the brown sugar glaze on top of the salmon (enough to coat well). Bake for 12 minutes. Baste once or twice with just a little more of the glaze. (save most of the glaze for when broiling)
To BROIL:
After 12 min's, remove fish from oven. Place more glaze on top of the filet. Place under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. (3 minutes is usually always sufficient.) Each minute under the broiler add more glaze until all of the glazed is used. Note: The glaze will slightly bubble on top of the fish while broiling - doesn't carmalize, but cooks into it somewhat. Make sure you use ALL of the glaze (this is what makes it really good in my opinion).

Remove from broiler after 3 minutes - let sit for about a minute and cut salmon into 4 equal servings.
Note: When I purchase my salmon, I always ask them to give me the thicker parts of the fish. Sometimes they will cut the thinner ends off and I end up with more of the "center" portion of the fillet. This makes it more consistent in the cooking process.
