Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze
Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze is If you have brown sugar, salmon fillet, dijon mustard, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the butter you could follow this main course with the Cinnamon Butter Cake as a dessert.
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir the brown sugar, butter and honey until melted.
Remove from the heat; whisk in the oil, mustard, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Cool for 5 minutes.
Place salmon in a large foil-lined baking pan; spoon brown sugar mixture over salmon.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. One wine you could try is Louis Jadot Pinot Noir. It has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 24 dollars.
Louis Jadot Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir Jadot is a pure varietal wine produced from Pinot Noir musts and wines selected from village-level vineyard sites throughout the Côte d'Or and Côte Chalonnaise. As with several of their smaller wines, Maison Louis Jadot practices a "réplis" to improve the quality of the wine by declassifying some wines of higher appellation to be incorporated into the blend. The final lots are carefully chosen, and, depending on the vintage, aged for a number of months in oak casks to evoke the clean, ripe red berry flavors and earthiness of the grape mellowed by a subtle touch of wood. Reflective of the Jadot style, Pinot Noir Jadot is harmonious and balanced, with a plump fruitiness and silky texture offset by round, gentle tannins in a wine of medium body and elegant structure. The very typical, fragrant varietal bouquet is complemented by a delicious, lingering finish.
