Lemon Pepper Salmon

This dinner time, I decided to go with the old favorite of my miso salmon, but then I thought to myself, "Miso salmon is good and all, but I want to try something new." I scoured the depths of the internet, searching in vain for a new recipe until I stumbled upon Lemon Pepper Salmon. It sounded too good to be true!  I got all of the necessary ingredients and went to work.

Lemon Pepper Salmon:

1 1/4 lbs Salmon

1 Tbsp Melted Butter

3 Tbsp Brown Sugar

1/2 tsp Onion Powder

1/2 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning

1/4 tsp Cracked Black Pepper

1. Cut your salmon into single serving pieces and pat dry.

2. Mix the brown sugar, onion powder, lemon pepper and cracked pepper in a bowl.

3. Brush some melted butter onto your salmon filet and place on an aluminum foil lined greased baking sheet.

4. Sprinkle a bit of the mixture onto the salmon and gently rub in.

5. Roast at 425 for 20-25 min.

This recipe turned out quite well if I do say so myself.  I would like to tweak a couple of things about the original recipe though. First of all, this was not a very peppery dish as I was led to believe.  I believe that doubling the amount of lemon pepper and cracked black pepper would do the dish wonders. And secondly, I was expecting a bit of caramelization on the fish but was sadly disappointed. To combat this, I would suggest broiling the salmon for 10-12 minutes instead to get a nice crust on it.
