A childhood favorite! My mom used to make this dish for us all the time. It's easy to make and delicious, so I can see why this was on regular rotation!

Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (158 ml) low sodium soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 (454 g) salmon filets, about 1 pound total
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar to sprinkle on top of the fish for the crust
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and brown sugar together.2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- In a baking dish or rectangular casserole dish, pour in the soy sauce mixture.
- Put in your salmon filets, flesh side down.2 salmon filets, about 1 pound total
- Marinate them for about 10 minutes.
- In a skillet, on medium-high heat, add in some vegetable oil and put in your salmon filets, skin side down (very important, not flesh side).
- Let skin side down cook about 3 minutes then sprinkle sugar on top of the salmon (flesh side) then flip and cook the other side until salmon is cooked through.1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- If you're afraid of the flesh side of the salmon burning, you can turn the heat down to about medium-low. Salmon doesn't take very long to cook so it shouldn't burn (keep an eye on it!). It'll be a nice dark brown crust on top.
- Serve with white rice or whatever else you like.
