Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied, but do not let it boil.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and combined.
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika to the saucepan.
Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
Allow the baste to cool slightly before using it to brush onto fresh salmon fillets.
For grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and brush liberally with the baste. Grill the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with more baste as it cooks, until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
For roasting: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and season the salmon fillets. Generously brush them with the baste and roast for 12-15 minutes, brushing a second time halfway through, until flaky and opaque in the center.
Serve the salmon hot with extra baste drizzled over the top, if desired, and enjoy!
