Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied, but do not let it boil.
Step 2
Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar until dissolved and combined.
Step 3
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and paprika to the saucepan.
Step 4
Cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Allow the baste to cool slightly before using it to brush onto fresh salmon fillets.
Step 6
For grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and brush liberally with the baste. Grill the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with more baste as it cooks, until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
For roasting: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and season the salmon fillets. Generously brush them with the baste and roast for 12-15 minutes, brushing a second time halfway through, until flaky and opaque in the center.
Step 8
Serve the salmon hot with extra baste drizzled over the top, if desired, and enjoy!
