Description

A delightful dish that combines flavor and health, featuring salmon coated in a sweet and tangy orange glaze.


Ingredients

  • Fresh Orange Juice: 1/2 cup
  • Soy Sauce: 1/4 cup
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
  • Salmon Fillets: 4 pieces
  • Salt: to taste
  • Pepper: to taste
  • Sesame Seeds: for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together fresh orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a medium bowl.
  2. Marinate the salmon fillets in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or olive oil.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the baking sheet, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 12-15 minutes.
  5. While the salmon bakes, simmer the reserved marinade in a saucepan until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Brush the thickened glaze over the salmon and return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize.
  7. Let the salmon rest for a minute, then garnish with sesame seeds and serve warm with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist.
  • Marinating is essential for flavor; do not skip this step.
