  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prep: Heat oven to 375°F. Place a large piece of foil on rimmed baking sheet, place salmon fillet on top (skin side down, pink side up). Crimp edges of foil around salmon to make a little "boat".
  2. Season: Combine melted butter and minced garlic. Brush half of mixture over salmon. Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl, evenly sprinkle over salmon. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter.
  3. Bake: Bake salmon for 15-22 minutes, depending on preferred doneness. Baste salmon with juices halfway through baking, if desired. Once done, remove salmon from oven and rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
