Description
Simple recipe for salmon fillets coated in a sweet and tangy orange glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger to make the glaze.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush half of the orange glaze evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- For a thicker glaze, simmer the leftover glaze in a small saucepan until reduced slightly before brushing on for the second coat.
