Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
- Orange juice
- 1/2 cup, freshly squeezed
- Honey
- 1/4 cup
- Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Green onions
- 2, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed orange juice, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This glaze will impart a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously brush the orange and ginger glaze over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should caramelize slightly, creating a beautiful finish.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. This helps retain the juices for a tender bite.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or jasmine rice to soak up the delicious glaze.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a crispy skin, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
