Baked Sweet and Salty Salmon

(Variation from allrecipes.com, link)

I was going to call this, "The Best Thing You've Ever Tasted In Your Life, Easy Too, And Served With Rice... Salmon" but it wouldn't fit in the title bar. That should tell you all you need to know.

20 min bake | 15 min prep | (marinate 2 hours)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
• lemon pepper to taste
• garlic powder to taste
• salt to taste
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• cooked rice (if desired)
  

Directions

1. Season salmon fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
2. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
4. Make a small foil packet for each fillet. Pour as much marinade into each packet as it will hold without spilling out (a few tablespoons). This will be used later to top the rice. Seal each packet well and place on a cookie sheet.
5. Bake for 15-20 min until salmon is cooked through.
6. Place salmon and extra sauce from the foil packet over rice.
7. Yum.

Notes

1. If your fillets have the skin on, leave it on to cook. Cooking salmon in the foil packets perfectly steams the fish and makes the skin peel right off after.
2. The longer you marinate the fish the better.
3. The original recipe link at the top gives instructions for grilling.
