For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide a brighter flavor than bottled juice. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. If you don't have a blender, you can whisk the marinade ingredients together in a bowl until the brown sugar is dissolved. The cooked marinade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
