Roasted Salmon w/ Brown Sugar Glaze
Roasted salmon with brown sugar glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish made by coating salmon fillets in a mixture of brown sugar, honey, and other sweet and savory ingredients, then roasting them in the oven until they are tender and flaky.
The brown sugar glaze adds a delicious and slightly sweet flavor to the salmon and helps to keep it moist as it cooks. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner and is often served with a side of vegetables or your favorite grain.
