- Next, preheat your oven to 400°F if you’re baking the salmon. If you’re opting for the stovetop method, have a skillet ready over medium-high heat with olive oil.
- Gently pat your salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Once dried, place the salmon skin-side down on your baking tray or in the hot skillet.
- Brush a generous amount of the prepared glaze over the salmon fillets. Cook the salmon in the oven for approximately 12–15 minutes.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, use the reserved glaze to brush the salmon once more. Once cooked, remove the salmon from heat and garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.
Notes
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar according to taste. Remember to always cook skin-on fillets for the best texture.
