This recipe is ideal for a healthy, light meal that doesn’t sacrifice flavor.
Ingredients
1 lb. salmon fillet
For the sauce:
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients (brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, red pepper flakes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper). Stir to mix well. Divide the sauce in half.
Marinate the salmon fillet with half of the sauce in the fridge for 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the marinated salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet or casserole dish.
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on its thickness. Baste the salmon with the leftover marinade halfway through the baking process for extra flavor.
Once baked, serve the salmon hot and drizzle the remaining sauce over the top for a sweet and tangy finish.
