Recipe
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
• For the Salmon:
• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp Savory Citrus Ginger seasoning
• For the Glaze:
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tsp fresh grated ginger (optional for extra kick)
• Optional Garnish:
Fresh cilantro, chopped
• Orange slices
Instructions
• Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Season the Salmon:
• Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with 2 tbsp of Savory Citrus Ginger seasoning.
• Prepare the Glaze:
• In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, soy sauce, orange zest, orange juice, and fresh ginger (if using).
• Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
• Glaze the Salmon:
• Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
• Brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet, reserving a little for serving.
• Bake the Salmon:
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
For a caramelized finish, broil on high for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
• Garnish and Serve:
• Drizzle the reserved glaze over the salmon before serving.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and orange slices for a vibrant presentation.
Pairing Suggestions
• Side Dishes: Serve with jasmine rice, quinoa, or roasted sweet potatoes.
• Vegetables: Pair with steamed asparagus, sautéed green beans, or a fresh cucumber salad.
• Wine Pairing: A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a citrusy Pinot Grigio complements this dish beautifully.
