This recipe comes courtesy of my parents. Credit goes to my mother for throwing it together and to my father for actually writing out the measurements. It’s super easy and delicious and great year-round as well.
8 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice or Gefen Lemon Juice
1 and 1/2 to 2 cups sugar, such as Gefen Cane Sugar
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Haddar Kosher Salt
black peppercorns and cloves (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place salmon in a baking dish and set aside.
Bring lemon juice, sugar, onion and salt to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, until liquid starts to develop a caramel color.
Pour mixture over salmon and cook (either covered or uncovered for a more caramelized salmon) for 15 to 20 minutes.
