Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1.5 pounds Salmon, chicken, or pork (your choice of protein)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, fresh orange juice, and brown sugar until fully combined.
Place your chosen protein (salmon, chicken, or pork) in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the protein, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate the marinated protein for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for stronger flavor. If marinating salmon, do not exceed 1 hour to prevent the delicate fish from becoming mushy.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Remove the protein from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the excess marinade.
Season the protein with salt and black pepper to taste.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through. For salmon, bake for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. For chicken, bake for 18-22 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). For pork, bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), then let it rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle the cooked protein with sesame seeds and chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
