Salmon and Glaze
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets (skinless, boneless)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 unit Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 3 tablespoons honey Can be swapped with maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down in a baking dish. Pour the orange glaze over the salmon, making sure each fillet is well coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  2. For an extra touch, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes to caramelize the glaze slightly.
  3. Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced oranges, and serve immediately.
