Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Brush the salmon generously with half of the citrus glaze, reserving the remaining glaze for later.
Season the salmon with salt and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, finely slice the green onions and toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the remaining citrus glaze.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your vibrant citrus glazed salmon!
