Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry white wine, or water
2 pounds salmon fillet
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. with a rack in the center. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir brown sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and white wine until the sugar has dissolved.

Bake until fish is opaque but still bright pink inside, basting every few minutes with glaze from baking dish, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon for a better flavor and texture.
Use fresh watercress: Fresh watercress adds a peppery flavor to the salad, making it a great complement to the sweet and savory salmon.
Make the soy glaze ahead of time: You can make the soy glaze up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after cooking, when it's still hot and flaky.
