Ingredients
- 1 side, skin-on, sockeye salmon, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds, pin bones removed
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Position a rack in the oven 3 inches from the broiler. Line a half sheet pan with aluminum foil and place the salmon on the pan.
Place the sugar, zest, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a small food processor and process for 1 minute or until well combined. Evenly spread the mixture onto the salmon and allow to sit for 45 minutes, at room temperature.
Turn the oven on to the high broiler setting for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, place the salmon into the oven and broil for 6 to 8 minutes or until the thickest part of the fish reaches an internal temperature of 131 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to rest, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

A staple in my house. This is really delicious and children who were reluctant to eat salmon have asked for this again and again.

Salmon has never been a favorite of mine, but I tried this recipe because of its availability and health benefits. I like this so much I make it for myself for dinner several nights per week. I cook more than I need for dinner and have it cold the next day in a salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

My daughter is a shellfish junkie but hates fish. There was a great deal on sockeye salmon I couldn't pass up. Alton has never steered my wrong, so I thought I'd try this recipe. My daughter is now hooked on salmon. This has opened her mind in to trying new things she wouldn't have before. It was so easy and the results are AWESOME. If you have a picky kid who doesn't like fish, give this one a try. (FYI, once I didn't have lemons, but had limes instead. My daughter actually liked the lime zest better.
