Creating Brown Sugar Salmon is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for more flavor).
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down.
5. Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Baste with Marinade: Halfway through cooking, baste the salmon with the remaining marinade for a richer flavor.
7. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
8. Serve: Plate the salmon and drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking sheet over the top.

Following these steps ensures a deliciously sweet and savory Brown Sugar Salmon that you and your guests will love!
