Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.
DELICIOUS SALMON
This salmon is so easy, you won't believe how delicious it is. I serve it with rice prepared with chicken broth and a little onion instead of plain water and buttery steamed broccoli with sliced almonds.

HONEY SOY GLAZED SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY
Two words: honey salmon! Sure, it takes a tiny bit of prep work, but once you marinate your salmon, you won't be able to go back. A simple mix of honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger coats and flavors your fish for 30 minutes before you throw it on the pan until the outside is perfectly crispy. Once that's done, you heat up and reduce some extra marinade to make a thick, to-die-for glaze to pour over your filet. Serve with your favorite veggies or rice and enjoy!

DELICIOUS AND SIMPLE BAKED SALMON WITH "FANCY" SAUCE
I looked in my cupboards to see what I could put on our salmon, and what I ended up with was a dish that tasted like it was out of a restaurant (in our opinion)! We couldn't get enough of it! This is a wonderful recipe to use with company, entertaining, or just adding variety to weekly family meal time! My youngest (who normally doesn't enjoy salmon) even ate this...which means it was a HIT in our house! =) Hope you all enjoy it, too!

- remove from oven and serve.
- Hope you enjoy this one!

Tips:
- For a crispy skin, pat the salmon dry before cooking and season it generously with salt and pepper.
- Use a high-quality olive oil or butter to cook the salmon. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooking will dry it out.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa. With its simple preparation and delicious flavor, baked salmon is a great choice for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
