1.5 lb salmon fillet

02 -
2 tbsp orange zest
03 -
1 tbsp orange juice
04 -
1 tsp garlic (fresh chopped, or garlic in a jar)
05 -
2 tsp ginger paste
06 -
1 tbsp soy sauce
07 -
1 tsp sesame oil
08 -
1 tbsp honey
09 -
sesame seeds (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9×13 inch sheet pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, garlic, ginger paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until fully combined. The mixture should resemble the consistency of icing or glaze.
03 -
Place the salmon fillet on the prepared sheet pan. Spread the glaze evenly over the salmon, ensuring it’s fully coated.
04 -
Bake the salmon for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
05 -
Allow the salmon to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
02 -
Grill the salmon instead of baking for a smoky flavor—brush with glaze while grilling.
03 -
Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
