Brown Sugar Buttered Salmon


You'd think, Taiwan being an island, there'd be a lot more seafood around here.

And by seafood, I mean seafood that I actually want to eat.

And by that, I mean fish.

And, let's be honest, I just want salmon. Lots of salmon.


Salmon has always been my favorite fish. It has a naturally rich and slightly buttery flavor and a tender, flaky texture. And, as if it couldn't get any better, salmon is a nutrient-packed powerfood which magically erases all of the effects of the sugar and butter piled on top of it...oh, wait, it doesn't do that? Well, no matter — the amazing flavor of the sugar + butter + seasoning + salmon is definitely worth it.


Oh, and I forgot to mention, this salmon takes under 30 minutes to make! Take that, weeknights.

Brown Sugar Buttered Salmon
Prep: 10 minutes          Bake: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients:
Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Butter, softened
Brown sugar
Salmon fillets or steaks

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with tinfoil.
2. Lay salmon on prepared baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle salmon with Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste (we like it pretty thick).
4. Using an offset spatula, spread butter thickly over the top of the salmon, covering all of it. Don't worry if the Lawry's gets a little moved around.
5. Sprinkle brown sugar thickly over the butter.
6. Bake for 4-6 minutes for each half-inch thickness. Check for doneness using a fork to pull a small section apart. Salmon is done when flaky.
