Sweet & Tangy Salmon

Adapted from Allrecipes

This recipe has been in my file for a long time; I had completely forgotten about it and discovered it just recently.  I had been contemplating making my favorite salmon dish--- Firecracker Salmon {see recipe index}---but decided trying something new might be fun at the last minute.  Good choice!  The bit of cayenne pepper in this gave it a pleasant kick.  Both my husband and I are big fans of this recipe now!

Ingredients:
  • 3 Tbs butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 4.5 Tbs lemon juice
  • 1 ½ tsp dried dill weed
  • ¾ tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • Lemon pepper, to taste
  • Salmon filets (1 lb.)
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and mix in the brown sugar, lemon juice, dill and cayenne pepper.  Cook and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved.  Reduce heat and simmer until ready to brush onto the salmon.
  • Season salmon with lemon pepper and place in the oven.  Brush frequently with the glaze.  Cook salmon for approximately 20 minutes or until easily flaked with a fork.  Reserve some of the glaze for serving.
