Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Texas Roadhouse Salmon

Preheat your oven to 400°F or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush them with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce until smooth.
Spoon or brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet or directly on the preheated grill grates, skin-side down.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or grill for 6-7 minutes per side until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven or grill, let it rest for a few minutes, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
