Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, carrots)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help the glaze stick better to the fish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce until well combined. This will be your glaze for the salmon.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the honey-soy mixture generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
- In a separate bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with the sesame oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Arrange the vegetables around the salmon on the baking sheet.
- Slice the orange into rounds. Place a few slices on top of each salmon fillet and scatter the remaining slices around the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The vegetables should be tender but still crisp.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
- To serve, plate the salmon fillets alongside the roasted vegetables and orange slices. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the baking sheet over the top for added flavor.
- Enjoy your Honey Soy Glazed Salmon with Veggies and Oranges, a delightful and healthy meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your ingredients in advance. Chop the vegetables and mix the glaze a few hours before cooking, so everything is ready to go when you are.
- Salmon Selection: Choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Look for fillets that are bright in color and have a clean smell.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep a close eye on the salmon while it bakes. It’s done when it flakes easily with a fork but still retains a moist texture. Overcooking can lead to dry salmon.
- Vegetable Variety: Feel free to mix and match your favorite vegetables! Asparagus, snap peas, or zucchini can also be delicious additions to this dish.
- Glaze Extra: If you love the glaze, consider making a double batch to drizzle over the finished dish or serve on the side for dipping.
- Garnish for Flair: For a pop of color and freshness, garnish your plated dish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds before serving.
- Serve with Rice: To make this meal even heartier, serve the salmon and veggies over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete and satisfying dinner.
