Infusing Garlic and Brown Sugar may have you hesitant to try at first but but let me tell you, it is a match made in heaven. I have always loved Brown Sugar glazed Salmon and was looking to add something of a twist. Garlic goes well with pretty much everything right? So why not my Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon? I am quick to try something once and you know what they say… you will never know if you like it until you try it.
Brainstorming how I can make a type a sauce that wasn’t overpowering and didn’t consist of a bunch of Brown Sugar and Butter and etc that I was already using in this recipe but wanted the same flavor profile to serve over a bed of Rice. I took a chance with adding Heavy Cream to the recipe using the pan ingredients leftover from cooking the Salmon. It actually came out quite tasty with a hint of Sweetness that paired well with the Salmon and gave the Rice a little something extra to enjoy it with.
Here we are with Garlic Brown Sugar Salmon Bites with nothing more than a few brainstorming ideas and a dish full of flavor. This infusion in ingredients will have you second guessing how soon is too soon to put this on your menu again and again.
