Citrus and honey glazed salmon

This summertime recipe is quick, doesn't require any fancy ingredients, and tastes as bright as the weather. When buying your salmon, I highly recommend getting it with the skin on. Even though it gets removed during the process, the skin (and underlying fat) helps protect the fish from overcooking. As an added bonus, you're left with salmon skin that can be turned into delicious chips at another time. I call that a win-win.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add a splash of veg oil to a large nonstick pan on medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and sear them skin-side down for 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and sear for 3 minutes on the other side. Remove the salmon to a plate.
- 2
Remove any excess oil from the pan and add the citrus juice. Simmer until half of it has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and simmer another minute. Stir in the honey.

Carefully peel the skin off the fillets and lay them seared-side up in the pan. Spoon the glaze over the salmon. Let the fish finish cooking as the glaze thickens, about 2 minutes. Serve the salmon atop some simply steamed veg with a side of steamed rice.

Honey glazed salmon Honey glazed salmon
Bought wild sockeye salmon from trader Joe's (honestly not the best quality, but acceptable) and want to give "honey glazed salmon" a try. So I googled and read several recipes to get some ideas and came up my own version. Trader Joe's only has skin-on fresh salmon so this recipe is for skin-on version and I have some hard time to remove the skin myself. If you have skinless salmon, then cook both sides for 3 minutes instead. Anna Pun -
Citrus teriyaki salmon Citrus teriyaki salmon
This is Gordon Ramsay's teriyaki salmon recipe, with a few customizations. Most notably, I added orange juice to the sauce to give it a very slight citrusy tang. It's by no means in-your-face with orange flavour, but it's there lingering in the background and I found it very pleasant. I also added pepper flakes, for a little bit of heat. And sesame oil, for toastiness. And finally, I didn't bother marinating the skin-side of the fish because I peeled it off before serving. It may just be personal preference, but I don't find flabby fish skin very appetizing, even when glazed with an otherwise delicious teriyaki sauce. Robert Gonzal -

Honey & Mustard glazed Salmon Honey & Mustard glazed Salmon
Salmon, what can I possibly say about this besides that it is so healthy to eat. Packed with Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, healthy healthy healthy! My husband and I are really not big on eating fish, but he does enjoy eating fried or baked Sardines once in a while, and he is sipping a glass of Ouzo. Me, nope I don’t eat fried fish, and definitely not a Ouzo person, 😉 I stick to the Salmon, Shrimps, Tuna, Calamari, thinking if I left something out that I do eat. Nope, that’s about it. 🙂This is a great recipe if you love Salmon so easy and so delicious. Just add this tasty sauce and bake…great for quick lunch or dinner. You can also use this recipe in a lovely green salad. Let the Salmon cool completely then just separate into small pieces add into your salad and a bit of Olive Oil and it is ready to eat.I love salads and one thing I always do even if I am adding a Salad dressing, I always add a bit of Olive Oil into my salads.

Living in an area with scarce options for wild-caught fish, I recently subscribed to a wild fish service to bring some variety to my table.
