Description
This Texas Roadhouse-Style Baked Salmon is buttery, sweet, and savory with a hint of garlic and lemon. It’s perfectly baked until flaky and caramelized, just like the restaurant version—only easier and faster to make at home.
Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on or skinless
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice (plus lemon wedges for serving)
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
– Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
2. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
4. Brush or spoon the glaze evenly over the salmon fillets.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a caramelized glaze. Watch closely to prevent burning.
7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
– For extra sauce, double the butter and brown sugar mixture.
– Swap parsley for dill or chives for a different flavor.
– Use honey instead of brown sugar for a honey butter version.
– Works well with trout or Arctic char too!
