Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons all-natural soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons white wine (or water) – Tip: Wine adds depth and flavor, but water is a great alternative.
- Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to preheat at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut palm sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, fresh lemon juice, and white wine. Stir the mixture well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Arrange the Salmon: Lightly grease the bottom of a baking dish using a mist of oil. Place the salmon fillets in the dish with the skin side down.
- Glaze the Salmon: Generously coat each salmon fillet with the prepared glaze. Ensure that each fillet is completely covered for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Allow the salmon to bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. To enhance the flavor, periodically baste the fillets with the excess glaze collected in the dish during baking.
- Serve: Once the salmon is fully cooked and has a beautiful glazed look, remove it from the oven. Garnish each fillet with fresh lemon slices and serve immediately.
Tips:
- The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) to be considered fully cooked.
- Pair this dish with a light salad, quinoa, or roasted vegetables to make it a full meal.
- If you have leftover wine, enjoy a glass with your salmon. The flavors will pair beautifully!
Enjoy your meal!
