Brown Sugar Glazed St￭ Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives), chopped
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. This will be your glaze.
3. In another bowl, combine cream cheese, fresh herbs, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and lemon zest for the stuffing. Mix until well combined.
4. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each salmon fillet. Stuff each fillet with the prepared filling.
5. Place the st￭ salmon fillets in a greased baking dish. Brush the brown sugar glaze generously over each fillet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. For an extra touch, you can broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
