Ingredients
Scale
1.5 pounds salmon fillet, skin on or off
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Simmer the Glaze: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
Thicken the Glaze: Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze. Continue to stir until the glaze thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Glaze the Salmon: Generously brush the orange glaze over the salmon fillet, ensuring it's evenly coated.
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. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Broil (Optional): For a more caramelized glaze, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
