Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Fresh fillets ensure the best flavor and flaky texture.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter This adds richness; olive oil can be a lighter alternative.

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Offers umami flavor; soy sauce is a gluten-free option.

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning; consider sea salt for texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl, and stir in the brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and optional cayenne pepper.
  4. Using a pastry brush, coat each salmon fillet with the butter mixture ensuring even coverage.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12-18 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Switch to broil mode and broil for the last 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden finish.
  7. Let the salmon rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish the salmon with fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
