Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring your salmon to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and olive oil until well combined.
3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Brush the brown sugar mixture generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye out for a beautiful caramelized glaze on top.
6. While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
7. Stir in the lemon juice and remove the garlic butter from the heat.
8. Once the salmon is done, drizzle the garlic butter over the top of each fillet.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
