Easy Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon recipe. Made with only 6 ingredients, this makes a quick and simple weeknight dinner idea.
I have been cooking salmon in my kitchen non-stop for so long now.
Really, I don’t know what it is, but all other kinds of meat kind of freak me out. I just don’t like cutting them, and I am terrified that I am going to give someone salmonella in the cooling process.
Ironically, I never worry about salmonella when cooking salmon.
Maybe it’s because I have had enough sushi in my life to not be terrified of raw fish (and I know that the sushi fish are extremely fresh so they won’t get you sick, but still…). So salmon has quickly become my go-to.
And now I think that this Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon is going to be my new go-to on busy weeknights.
This recipe is ready in 20 minutes and uses very minimal ingredients! All you need is:
- salmon
- oil
- brown sugar
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- cayenne pepper
- salt
That’s it!
Right now, I am going between this salmon recipe and my other favourite Honey Dijon Salmon recipe. But tonight, this recipe was the one that won out.

What a simple recipe that’s suitable for all ages. Must try this at home soon.
Yes you do! Thanks 🙂
I love the simplicity of this recipe. As a salmon lover, I tend to eat it always in the same way. Baked in the oven with herbs de provence. I like the idea of mixing it up with your glazed brown sugar and spicy flavors. Thanks for the tip.
Ooh, I’ll have to try it that way too 😉

Delicious recipe! My first time cooking salmon. I put the salmon on a bed of white rice seasoned with lemon pepper and a side of asparagus. Definitely using this easy recipe again
