How To Prepare Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon
I only cooked 2 salmon fillets since only two of us were eating, but I kept the sauce amount the same as written (and saved the extra sauce for another time). Here’s how to make this delicious orange rosemary glazed salmon:
Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Salt and pepper salmon fillets on both sides. When olive oil is really hot (but not smoking), add the salmon to skillet (it should sizzle when it hits the pan).
Cook the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes, then carefully turn salmon over and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked.
When done and golden brown, remove the browned salmon from the skillet (leaving the hot oil in the skillet). Keep the cooked salmon warm.
Make The Sauce For Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon
Turn the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, and cook, stirring often, for about 20-30 seconds.
Pour 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) of chicken broth to the skillet. Stir the ingredients, to combine. Cook this on a low simmer until most of the liquid has reduced in volume.
The next thing to do is to add the orange zest, lemon juice, honey and orange juice to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Now the orange sauce will begin to smell wonderful!
In small cup, stir together the remaining Tablespoon of chicken broth with the cornstarch until smooth.
Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring well, as it is added. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
Bring the orange sauce to a boil. Boil it for one minute, stirring constantly. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
Serve The Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon
Return the cooked salmon back into the skillet with the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over each piece to cover the salmon.
Carefully remove the orange rosemary glazed salmon from the pan, and transfer to serving plates. Spoon additional sauce over each piece, if desired (it’s good- highly recommend).
Garnish each orange rosemary glazed salmon fillet with a fresh rosemary sprig, and fresh orange slice, if desired. Serve, and enjoy this wonderful dinner!
I really hope you will try this recipe for orange rosemary glazed salmon. The fresh citrus glaze tastes absolutely delicious on the salmon, and really enhances it.
We said “this is REALLY good” several times while eating it, and I’m confident you will enjoy it, as well! Have a wonderful day.
