Note
For the best Brown Sugar Salmon,marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor. Keep an eye on the glaze while cooking to prevent burning, and ensure the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after cooking for optimal moisture and tenderness. Following these tips will guarantee a delicious result.
