Ingredients

  • 1. A quarter cup of butter
  • 2. Minced garlic clove
  • 3. Four salmon fillets, each weighing 6 ounces
  • 4. Three large onions, sliced thinly
  • 5. One cup of white vinegar
  • 6. A cup of brown sugar

Step 1

To kick things off, preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with shiny aluminum foil and give it a light spritz of cooking spray.

Step 2

In a saucepan on medium heat, mingle the onions, a splash of vinegar, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Let them dance together until they transform into a sweet caramelized sauce, which usually takes around 15 minutes, stirring every now and then.

Step 3

In a cozy skillet, melt some butter with crushed garlic over a gentle flame. Now, nestle your salmon fillets onto the awaiting baking sheet and give them a lovely brush of the garlic-infused butter. Next, pour the luscious onion concoction over the fillets for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 4

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the fish is flaky and tender. Keep an eye on the thickness of your fillets as it may affect the cooking time slightly.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your salmon fresh by storing it in an airtight container in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
  2. 2. For a burst of flavor, marinate your salmon in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic before storing.
  3. 3. Don't forget to label your storage containers with the date to ensure you use your salmon before it goes bad.
