This is my favorite way of cooking salmon. It’s simple, versatile and always turns out amazing. First, you want to season the salmon with spices of your choice. Next, bake the salmon for 10-12 minutes with the skin on! Keeping the skin on the salmon while you bake it will prevent the fish from drying out. The final step is creating a sugar-based glaze to paint on the salmon halfway through the baking process, which forms a delicious caramel crust when the fish finishes cooking under the broiler. Serve salmon over a colorful salad or with rice and veggies.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    * Glaze*
