Peppery Lemon Brown Sugar Salmon (Bookmarked Recipes)
Hubby and I are back on track with meal planning. Basically, on Sunday we plan our meals for the week and buy all the groceries needed for those meals. It makes the week nights so much less stressful. Plus since there are only two of us, cooking one night usually provides leftovers for the next day either for lunch or dinner.
I wanted something easy for tonight’s dinner and I had a star on this recipe for quite a while. It was very easy to throw together. I served it with some veggies and roasted potatoes (the Green Giant frozen kind – yum!) We both loved this salmon and agreed to make it any time we need something quick to throw together. I’m submitting these to the weekly blogging event: Bookmarked Recipes.
Peppery Lemon Brown Sugar Salmon – from CB – originally from Rebecca
1-1/2 pounds salmon fillets (bones removed)
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Pat the salmon fillets dry. Brush with melted butter. Combine the seasonings in a small bowl and mix. Sprinkle the seasonings over the salmon, and press down gently.
On a lightly greased baking sheet (I forgot to grease mine at all), bake for 20-25 minutes. Line the sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
some of our faves are asparagus and brussels sprouts too 🙂
This is the only way we eat our asparagus as well. Do people still boil asparagus? Seriously, it’s kind of a waste that way…
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best to share. 🙂
One of my all time faves. Roasted anything, actually, but asparagus gets so crispy and flavorful!
We love to grill asparagus that has been rubbed with olive oil and sea salt–so good! 🙂
Hi there, I’ve been reading your blog for so long now and just wanted to say thanks for all your wonderful recipes. I’ve used so many that have been awesome and really tasty thank you so much! Keep up the good work!
p.s asparagus season is one of the highlights of our year to hehe. So many fantastic things you can do with it! Have you tried roasting it in orange juice and silvered almonds? Devine.
Sezasaurus – Orange and almond does sound tasty! Thanks for the idea.
I can’t remember if I’ve ever had roasted asparagus – roasted broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts definitely but roasted asparagus could be a new one. Sounds awesome! 🙂
We made this last night with grilled pork chops and homemade mac and cheese. I tossed in the olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper and then probably ate 1/4 of them cold while I was waiting for the oven to heat up. Hubby and I each took a serving for our plates after they cooked and then stood in the kitchen eating the rest off the baking sheet before we had dinner! So good and so easy for our favorite veggie!
