There’s something about the sweet and smoky flavor combination that just works. And this Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon proves it with every perfectly caramelized bite of salmon that practically melts in your mouth.

Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

I love how the brown sugar glaze balances everything out with just the right mix of sweet, savory, and spicy. And since the salmon is cut into smaller pieces, it cooks lightning fast, and you get the perfect glaze-to-fish ratio in every bite.

I’ve served this salmon with pineapple rice and also with this easy Asian rice. And it’s a terrific light meal with this orange parsley salad, too.

Salmon Bites

Inspired by this brown sugar salmon that we first made in the air fryer, these salmon bites are everything I love about that smoky, sweet salmon, made even better with more caramelized edges.

My New Favorite Lunch

Salmon bites have become my hands-down favorite way to cook salmon over the past year. I often cook them for lunch when I’m on my own, and in that case, the air fryer is my go-to cooking method.

However, when I’m cooking for a family meal, the broiler does a great job in the same amount of time and provides enough salmon for all of us.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve gone out for lunch just because I was craving this salad. Inspired by my deep love for the simple house chop served at Harvest Pizza, it was way past time for me to figure out how to make their salad at home.

Crunchy greens, tangy pepperoncini, and hearty chickpeas are tossed with a sweet Italian dressing and then sprinkled with crumbles of creamy cheese to recreate Harvest’s House Chop Salad.

Sweet Italian Dressing

The base flavor for this salad is the sweet Italian dressing. It’s a smooth, sweet cousin to the zesty Italian dressing that is a staple in my kitchen. It’s bright, sweet, and tangy with lemon, Dijon, and garlic flavors in each bite and just a tiny hint of heat from the red pepper.

Salad Happiness

I’m thrilled to tell you that this salad is a spot-on match for the salad we enjoy so much at Harvest Pizza. And I’m able to make it every day at home now. It feels a bit like my salad-loving heart has found an early Christmas present.

What is a Chopped Salad?

The idea behind the popular chopped salads is that each bite will include a little bit of everything, with no need to cut anything further while eating. The key to a great chopped salad is to cut, slice, or chop every ingredient roughly the same size. The greens are usually cut to approxim
