Saumon glacé à la cassonade

Ingrédients

• 24 ounces salmon (skin removed, and cut into 1-inch pieces)
• olive oil spray
• ⅓ cup light brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ¾ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
• ¾ teaspoon smoked or plain paprika
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the salmon into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl and stir to combine.

2. 2

   Lightly spray or drizzle the salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle the salmon with about ⅔ of the sugar and spice mixture and toss with your hands to coat. Spray a large baking sheet with oil and spread the salmon across the baking sheet. Sprinkle each piece of salmon with the remaining spice mixture.

3. 3

   Place the salmon in the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, and increase the heat to BROIL on high. When the oven reaches broiling temperature, return the salmon to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze has lightly caramelized.

4. 4

   Remove from the oven and test the salmon for doneness. The fish should barely flake apart with a fork. The cooking time required will depend on the thickness of the salmon.
