Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

Yep. You read the title right. Salmon. On MY blog. I'll give you all a moment to pick your jaw up off the floor! :)

I don't eat fish. Honestly, I don't eat seafood at all. I just don't care for it. Sure, I'll eat a tuna fish sandwich every once in a blue moon but that is where it ends. So why the sudden change? Nathan LOVES seafood. He would eat it all the time if he could. After almost 8 years of marriage, I decided it would be nice if I actually made him fish. Plus, Anya will inhale salmon. She says she likes salmon more than steak which is saying a lot for my carnivorous child!

I still don't eat much of it. I will take a bite or two of the fish and load up on the side dishes. I figure I can eat a meal that I don't care for all that much once a week in order to give my family something they really enjoy.

I did like this salmon. Not enough to eat more than a few bites, but it was good. Nathan and Anya (and Eric, too!) loved it and there wasn't any leftover. I think that is a good review!

Enjoy!

Taste of Home

1 TBSP brown sugar

2 tsp butter

1 tsp honey

1 TBSP olive oil

1 TBSP Dijon mustard

1 TBSP soy sauce

1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt

In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir the brown sugar, butter, and honey until melted. Remove from heat; whisk in the oil, mustard, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cool for 5 minutes.

Place salmon in a large foil lined baking pan; brush with brown sugar mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork.

*I cooked it at 400 for about 10 minutes per the suggestion of a friend. (Thanks, Monica!)*
