Broiled Molasses Glazed Salmon Recipe


INGREDIENTS:

Seasoning Mix:

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/16 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Molasses Glazed Salmon:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2- 6 ounce salmon fillets
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (you can use smoked paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon honey

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to broil (525°F).
  2. Line a small baking sheet with foil. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on the baking sheet where the salmon fillets will be placed on the sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning mix; salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
  4. Place the salmon fillets on the sheet pan skin side down (if skin has not been removed). Evenly coat each salmon fillet with about ½ teaspoon of the seasoning mix.
  5. Spread 1 teaspoon of the molasses over each piece of salmon to give an even coating.
  6. Evenly sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon of chili powder over each piece of salmon. Sprinkle ⅛ teaspoon of paprika over each piece of salmon.
  7. Place the tray of salmon in the oven on the lowest rack. The sugars in the molasses will burn too quickly if placed close to the broiler heating elements.
  8. Broil salmon fillets for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove fillets from the oven. Drizzle ½ teaspoon of honey on each piece of salmon, return to the lower oven rack. Broil for 5 more minutes, or until salmon reaches the desired cooking temperature. Depending on the thickness of salmon, you may need more or less time. Keep and eye on the salmon in the last few minutes of cooking. You can the salmon when the thermometer reaches 130-135°F for a medium rare to medium cook.
  10. Allow the salmon to rest for 3-5 minutes on the sheet tray. Carefully remove the skin from the salmon if desired, or if remaining on the fillet.
  11. Serve with your favorite sides, enjoy!
