Orange Glazed Salmon

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Place the salmon, skin side down on the cookie sheet and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Combine the butter, garlic, ginger, orange juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, orange zest, and smoked paprika in a sauce pan and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.

  4. 4

    Let the sauce cool for a few minutes, then pour over the fish.

  5. 5

    Place a few slices of oranges over the chicken. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. 6

    Remove and serve over a bed of arugula, a sprinkle of pomegranate aerials, salt, and sesame seeds (if desired). Add some parsley sprigs for serving.

Notes

Cook time will vary with salmon! Thicker salmon will take an extra couple of minutes. You can use a fork and check if the salmon will flake apart. Salmon cooks quickly and can dry out if overcooked, so watch closely. You can cut this in 2-inch wide strips and it will cook a minute or two faster. The orange sauce transforms this fish and hides all the fishy taste of the salmon. Make your favorite bowl with rice, arugula, salmon, cucumbers, a sprinkle of pomegranates and serve with a little extra orange sauce. Make an extra batch of the orange sauce to drizzle over the fish when you serve. Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
