Description
This glazed salmon recipe is easy to make and packed with flavor, featuring a delicious orange honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Salmon (choose skin-on for extra flavor and crispiness)
- 1 pinch Salt (enhances the salmon’s natural taste)
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground for a subtle kick)
- 1/2 cup Fresh orange juice (the star of the show)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (balances the acidity)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (adds umami depth)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced for an aromatic boost)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated for a warm note)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for a fresh pop of color)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with paper towels.
- In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Brush the prepared glaze generously over each salmon fillet.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork and has a glossy finish.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
- For extra flavor, let the salmon marinate in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking.
