Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly with olive oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together light brown sugar, gluten-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, rub with olive oil, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down into the greased baking dish and pour about two-thirds of the glaze over them.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Switch your oven to broil and cook the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization.
  7. Remove from oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
