ROASTED SALMON GLAZED WITH BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD
This is what we call around here a no-recipe recipe, the sort of meal you can cook once off a card and you'll know it by heart: salmon glazed with brown sugar and mustard. The preparation could not be simpler. Heat your oven to 400. Make a mixture of Dijon mustard and brown sugar to the degree of spicy-sweetness that pleases you. Salt and pepper the salmon fillets. Place them skin-side down on a lightly oiled, foil-lined baking sheet, slather the tops with the mustard and brown sugar glaze and slide them into the top half of your oven. They ought to be done in 12 minutes or so, and they pair beautifully with simple braised greens.

BROWN SUGAR-CURED SALMON
This grilled and smoked salmon recipe by the food writer Betty Fussell calls for curing the fish for several hours with salt, brown sugar and spices before smoking it over indirect heat on your grill. While the fatty fish absorbs the smoke beautifully, the fish can also be successfully cooked in a grill pan, or under the broiler. The salt and sugar cure, laced with sweet spices, both flavors the fish and firms up its flesh, giving it a meaty, silky texture. Serve it with a crisp salad for a light supper, or with rice for something more substantial.

Steps:
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt, pepper, spices and zest. Rub mixture all over fish. Place in a dish, cover and let cure in the fridge for at least 4 hours and preferably 8 hours. Rinse fillets and pat dry. Generously oil salmon.
- Light the grill. Once coals are hot, scatter drained hickory chips over coals. (If you're using a gas grill, place them in a disposable metal pan on the grill next to the salmon.)
- Place salmon flesh-side down on grill and cover, closing top vent so not much smoke is released. Smoke salmon, covered, for about 5 to 6 minutes, then flip. (If the fish is sticking to the grill grate, then it's not ready to flip. Cook for another 3 to 10 minutes, depending upon how hot your fire is. The fish is done when the interior is medium pink and exterior crisp and smoky. Serve with lemon wedges.
SOY SAUCE AND BROWN SUGAR SALMON
Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 425. In a small bowl, add Soy Sauce, brown sugar, honey, oil, and minced garlic. Whisk all ingredients together to combine.
- Place two pieces of foil on top of each other for each salmon fillet. Gather the sheets so they are raised on all sides (to prevent any marinade from dripping out).
- If your fillets are large, you can cut them in half. Season fillets with garlic powder and black pepper.
- Drizzle marinade evenly over salmon fillets
- Gather the long ends of the foil and fold down. Fold in the short ends to form a packet
- Place packets on a cookie sheet. Place in the oven and bake for about 18 minutes.

BROWN SUGAR & DIJON GRILLED SALMON
This is probably my favorite grilled salmon recipe - and my kids used to beg for it whenever they saw salmon in the fridge. Although I prefer wild sockeye salmon, this recipe is much better suited to the thicker farm-raised salmon (I know, I know...). I normally just eyeball the ingredients, and often make more than called for,...

Steps:
- 1. Tear off a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil and make a "boat" out of it - big enough to hold the fillet - with the sides going up about 3/4 inch. If you don't have heavy duty foil, just use two layers of foil to make your boat. Preheat your grill - you will need medium heat.
- 2. In a small sauce pan, place the brown sugar, butter and honey. Stir until melted, then remove from heat. Stir in the soy sauce, mustard, olive oil and ginger. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Put the boat on a large cutting board (this makes it easy to transfer the boat to the grill), then place the salmon, skin side down, on the foil boat. Spread the brown sugar & mustard sauce evenly over the fish.
- 4. Transfer the salmon boat to your grill and cook until the edges start to brown and the fish is opaque and flakes easily. This will take 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon.
- 5. Note: Because of the sugar and honey, the glaze that drips onto the foil will burn. It's best to make your salmon boat as form fitting as possible, leaving only a 3/4 inch border between the fillet and the boat "sides".
- 6. Carefully remove the salmon boat from the grill, or you can serve directly from the grill. Cut into individual serving pieces. You don't have to cut through the skin. Just use a spatula to lift each piece away from the skin and onto a serving plate.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that is fresh or frozen. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Use brown sugar as a marinade: The brown sugar in this recipe helps to caramelize the salmon and give it a delicious glaze. You can also add other spices and herbs to the marinade, such as garlic, ginger, or thyme.
- Cook the salmon skin-side down: This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. You can cook the salmon in a skillet, on a grill, or in the oven.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is opaque in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Conclusion:
Brown sugar salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The brown sugar glaze gives the salmon a sweet and caramelized flavor, and the salmon itself is moist and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
