This sweet and spicy salmon is coated in a buttery lemon, garlic and brown sugar glaze, with a hint of cayenne for added kick.
My boys are all huge salmon fans, so I always pick some up when I go to Costco. And this Brown Sugar Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon is our new favorite way to prepare it.
Garlic, butter, lemon, herbs and spices–pretty much all the flavors I love to pair with fish are include in this recipe.
The salmon is brushed with the sauce and cooked, then basted with additional sauce and broiled for a beautifully glazed finished dish.
Topped with some fresh parsley and lemon slices, it’s a perfect light meal any day of the week.
And the whole thing only takes about 20 minutes to make from start to finish. Which makes it an easy but elegant meal for a busy weeknight.
