This Orange and Ginger glazed Salmon recipe is incredibly easy to make with only a handful of ingredients. Serve it over Basmati rice with steamed Broccoli, Bok Choy, Sautéed Garlic and top with this delicious Citrusy glaze and you have a quick and easy, delicious meal in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (100 g or 4 oz)
• 1 Tbsp good quality olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 Tbsp butter (opt)
• 1 tsp cornflour or arrowroot (for thickening glaze)
• 4 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 navel orange, segmented
• 1 navel orange , zest and juice
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce (preferably tamari)
• 1 Tbsp honey (add more to taste if necessary)
• 4 spring onions, finely sliced or shredded

Method

1) Prepare your orange glaze by mixing 1 tsp cornflour with 2 Tbsp water in a cup. Add the orange juice, stir and set aside.

2) Using a large non-stick frying pan, heat the oil (and butter) over medium-high heat.

3) Arrange the salmon fillets evenly in the pan and sear skin side down until golden, about 3 minutes. Flip the salmon over and continue to cook until the remaining side is golden, 3 minutes.Remove from the pan and set aside.

4) Using the same pan, stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for about half a minute on medium-low heat. (You may need to add a little extra oil to prevent it from burning.)

5) Stir in the orange juice slurry, half the orange zest, honey and soya sauce. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.

6) Place the salmon back into the pan, adding half the segmented orange to sear a little and spoon the sauce gently over the salmon until it is warmed through and completely glazed, about 2 minutes.

7) Serve immediately on a bed of Basmati rice and drizzle over the rest of the sauce (or serve this separately.) Decorate with finely sliced or shredded spring onion and sprinkle with the rest of the orange rind and segmented oranges.

8) Add delicious side dishes of any of your favourite green vegetables like steamed broccoli florets and Bok Choy.

TIP

Make sure that you have prepped all your ingredients beforehand as the actual cooking of the salmon needs your full attention and only takes about 8 to 10 minutes.

Turn the salmon over only once to prevent it from falling apart and work gently.
