Introduction

This Amazing Texas Roadhouse Salmon recipe brings bold, sweet, and savory flavors to your dinner table in just 30 minutes. Perfectly glazed and baked, the salmon is tender and flaky with a delicious caramelized finish. It’s a simple yet impressive dish for any night of the week.

A close-up of a cooked piece of salmon sits on a white plate with a white marbled texture background. The dish has two main layers: the bottom layer is thick, flaky, and light pink-orange salmon flesh with a moist texture; the top layer is a shiny, dark reddish-brown glazed crust with a slight charred look, sprinkled with small green herbs and bits of seasoning, giving a textured and glossy finish. The light hits the fish, highlighting its juicy and tender appearance while casting soft shadows around the edges. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets, 6 oz each
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with half of the glaze mixture.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then remove from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze.
Step 5: Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 6: Remove the salmon from the oven, let it rest for 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For an extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
Serve over a bed of rice or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
If fresh parsley is unavailable, dried parsley can be used, but add it during cooking to release more flavor.

Storage

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying it out. This salmon is best enjoyed fresh but can also be served cold in salads.
