Ingredients

• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick wedges
• 1 pinch kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 (5 ounce) skinless salmon fillets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 2

Combine brown sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, salt, and pepper in the hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to sugar mixture and mix together. Place salmon fillets on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 4

Cook salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn over and drizzle with 1/2 of the sugar mixture. Continue to broil until salmon is opaque throughout and easily flaked with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve with remaining sugar mixture.
