Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon with Jaca

Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon with Jaca

Juicy roasted salmon fillets with a caramelized Jaca and Dijon mustard glaze — sweet, tangy, and ready in under 20 minutes. All the sticky, golden goodness with zero sugar.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Jaca sugar (replaces ¼ cup brown sugar at 2x ratio)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lbs salmon fillets (about 6 fillets)

Instructions:

- Preheat your oven to 400°F with one rack in the upper third. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup Jaca sugar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

- Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if using skin-on, spaced about 1 inch apart.

- Generously spread the Jaca glaze over the top and sides of each fillet.

- Bake for 10–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

- Remove from the oven and serve with lemon slices. This is a Jaca-adjusted healthier version — all the caramelized sweetness with zero sugar.
