Instructions
- Position a rack in the center, line a sheet pan with foil, and set it aside.,Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
- In a small bowl, stir the brown sugar, mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth and drizzly.,Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
- If you like to eat the salmon skin, pat it very, very dry with a clean dish towel or paper towel. Skip this step if you prefer not to eat the skin.,Place the filets, skin side-down and with space between each filet, on the prepared sheet pan.,Spoon the glaze onto the filets, making sure it fully covers the tops. Use the back of the spoon to spread it out.,Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe
- Bake until the tops are golden brown and crispy in spots. The salmon will feel slightly firm when pressed with your fingers and it should flake easily with a fork, 12 to 14 minutes. If your filets are thin (less than an inch thick), start checking for doneness at the 10-minute mark. A digital thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the salmon should register between 125°F and 130°F—this is considered cooked medium.,Use a spatula to transfer the salmon onto plates and serve warm.,Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, place it on a foil-lined sheet pan and bake it slowly at 300°F until warmed through. This low and slow method will prevent the salmon from drying out too much.,Did you love the recipe?
