We eat salmon all summer long, and this is our favorite way to fix it. The mild sauce—brushed on as the fish grills—really enhances the taste. —Janis Smoke, King Salmon, Alaska.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the first six ingredients. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
