Orange Glazed Salmon - 24 Carrot Kitchen - easy, delicious salmon recipe loaded with healthy omega 3 fatty acids!

 

Looking for easy, weeknight dinner recipes?  The marinade for this orange glazed salmon can be prepared in advance or made right when you are ready to cook your salmon.  Use half as the marinade, and then save half to pour over your cooked salmon for extra flavor.

Making Your Orange Glazed Salmon:

  1. Gather your ingredients.
  2. Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
  3. Rinse and pat dry salmon fillet.

Make the Sauce For Orange Glazed Salmon:

4.  Combine ingredients in a small mixing bowl, (freshly squeezed orange juice, freshly grated ginger, maple syrup, vinegar, salt, and pepper) and whisk together.   Honey would be an acceptable substitute for maple syrup.

Tip:  To remove the skin of the ginger, use a spoon to pull away from the ginger skin.  A small paring knife will also work.

Four ways to grate ginger:

  1. Using a fork
  2. Using a grater
  3. Using a zester

5.  Your freshly whisked glaze will look like the photo below.

6.  Prepare the casserole dish by greasing it with 1 tablespoon olive oil.  I use a washable brush to spread the oil around the dish.  Place the salmon in the casserole dish.  Measure half the glaze (about 1/4 cup).

7.  Pour half the glaze over the salmon and set aside the remaining glaze.

9.  Pour remaining glaze over baked salmon.

11.  Continue to pour glaze from casserole dish over baked salmon and sprinkle salmon with fresh chopped herbs such as parsley (optional) if desired.

Cooking Tips:

  • Add sliced oranges to the casserole dish to cook alongside the salmon as a garnish.
  • Use wild-caught salmon for best taste and a dose of healthy omega 3 fats.
  • Store leftover knobs of ginger in the freezer for use in this and future recipes.
  • Use this grater for easily grated fresh ginger.
  • Drizzle salmon with casserole dish juices.
  • May substitute honey for the maple syrup.
