Best Crispy Orange Glazed Salmon Thai Inspired Recipes

CRISPY HONEY ORANGE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat butter (or oil) in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sear for 2 minutes.
• Pour in the orange juice and allow to reduce to half the quantity (it takes about 1 minute to reduce down if your pan is hot enough). Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds). Move the salmon to the sides of the pan and add in the honey and soy sauce, stirring well to combine all of the flavours together.
• Bring to a simmer until reduced to a nice syrup (this takes about another 30 seconds to 1 minute), and move the salmon around in the sauce to evenly coat. Remove from heat once the salmon is cooked to your liking.
• Season with salt and pepper to your tastes. Drizzle with the sauce to serve. Best served over rice, noodles, steamed vegetables or with a salad.

ORANGE-GLAZED SALMON WITH CARAMELIZED SWEET ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F Spray 11x7-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook onions and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt 3 to 4 minutes or until onions begin to turn golden brown, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low and add garlic; cover and cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, combine orange juice, vinegar, orange peel and rosemary in small bowl; reserve 2 tablespoons for glaze. Add remaining mixture to onions; cook, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Whisk mustard and honey into reserved glaze.
• Spread onion mixture in baking dish; top with salmon. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; spoon reserved glaze over salmon. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until salmon just begins to flake. Serve salmon topped with onion mixture.

ORANGE SESAME GLAZED SALMON W/ EXTRA CRISPY SKIN

Steps:

• In a small bowl mix together all marinade ingredients. Be sure to reserving 1/2 cup of the water to use during the cooking process. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to broil with oven rack placed in the upper center position. Prepare a baking sheet by layering 2 strips of foil to cover the bottom of pan, then place an non-coated cooling rack over that.
• Brush skin side of salmon with olive oil (this will help to insure skin doesn't stick and become extra crispy), place fillets about 1-2 inches apart on the cooling rack in the center of backing sheet. Reserve half of marinade for glazing. Brush tops and sides of the salmon fillets with marinade. Let sit for 5-6 minutes.
• Broil, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes (or until fish flakes easily with a fork). Because you're broiling, it will cook quickly. Glaze OFTEN with reserved marinade to get a super sweet and sticky coating. Pour reserved water in bottom of pan half way through cooking time (helps finish cooking the fish and also keeps it moist and flaky).
• I like to serve mine with ginger lime shrimp and a roasted veggie like asparagus :).
