# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp light brown sugar, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp kosher salt. This is your Signature Roadhouse Rub for the Texas Roadhouse Salmon Copycat Recipe.
02 -
Pat dry 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets. Evenly sprinkle and gently press the prepared Signature Roadhouse Rub onto both sides of each fillet. Let the seasoned salmon rest while you prepare the glaze and pan.
03 -
In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until well combined and slightly warmed. This Golden Glaze Finish is key to your Texas Roadhouse Salmon Copycat Recipe.
04 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, into the hot pan. Sear for 4-5 minutes until a nice crust forms.
05 -
Flip the salmon fillets. Brush generously with the Golden Glaze Finish. Continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes, brushing with more glaze occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
06 -
Remove the cooked Texas Roadhouse Salmon Copycat Recipe from the pan and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, and serve immediately with 1 lemon, cut into wedges.
# Notes:
01 -
For perfectly cooked salmon, aim for an internal temperature of 145°F. Overcooking can make the fish dry.
02 -
While fresh lemon juice is recommended for the best flavor, you can substitute with bottled lemon juice in a pinch.
03 -
Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying it out.
04 -
This delicious salmon pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed asparagus, rice pilaf, or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
