Brown Sugar Salmon Tips
How do you season salmon?
Because salmon carries a stronger flavor, it can require nothing more than salt and pepper. However, if you want to switch things up, try a spicy rub, like in this spiced salmon recipe, or a sprinkle of garlic, lemon-pepper seasoning, fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), smoked paprika or jerk seasoning.
How long should you marinate salmon?
Marinating is a delicious preparation for salmon. Just make sure you're marinating for 30 minutes or less. Otherwise, the marinade will break down the salmon's proteins, yielding an unpleasant texture when cooked. Check out our marinade guide for other marinating tips and recipes.
How do you know when salmon is done cooking?
If you're just starting to learn how to cook salmon, knowing when it's done cooking is essential to creating a memorable dish. It's especially important for baked salmon recipes when you might walk away from the oven and overcook the salmon without knowing (a common mistake when cooking seafood). Salmon is done when it just begins to flake easily with a fork, separating along the lines of its flesh. To avoid overcooking, start checking the doneness several minutes before the recipe says the fish is done.
What do you serve with brown sugar salmon?
Brown sugar salmon is one of those easy salmon recipes that anyone can make, and the flavor is neutral enough that it can be served with a wide variety of side dishes for salmon that would work nicely, too. Once the recipe is in the oven, you can start thinking about what wine to pair with your salmon. A rosé would be a great choice, especially one made with pinot noir.
Can you use any other fish with this recipe?
Ocean trout, Arctic char, bluefish and striped bass are great substitutes for salmon. Learn more about the different types of fish.
