Applebee's Honey Pepper Salmon

Ingredients:
3/4 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 lemon, juiced
2 tbls. White distilled vinegar
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. garlic powder

4 (8 ounce) salmon filets, without skin

Sauce: (prepare prior to cooking the salmon)
Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Stir occasionally until sauce begins to boil, then simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until syrupy. Watch the sauce to be sure it doesn’t bubble over.

Salmon:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place foil in the bottom of a 9x13” pan. Put salmon filets in the bottom of the pan and drizzle half of the sauce mixture over top. Cover tightly with foil. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.

*Serve salmon over rice and reheat the rest of the sauce for extra gravy.
