Description

This Pan-Fried Orange Salmon is an easy to make dinner recipe that will be ready to eat in just about 30 minutes! It’s full of flavor, paleo friendly, naturally gluten free and delicious with steamed rice and broccoli.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4, 6 ounce salmon fillets, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1–2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli

Instructions

  1. Step: Whisk together all sauce ingredients aside from the cornstarch in a medium bowl.
  2. Step: Add the salmon cubes and marinate for 15 minutes.
  3. Step: Add the minced garlic, grated ginger and oil to a pan and saute over medium/low heat for about 2 minutes.
  4. Step: Use tongs to add in the salmon cubes (save the sauce but don’t add to the pan) and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Step: Meanwhile, add the remaining sauce to a small sauce pan and bring to a very low boil.
  6. Step: Whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add to the sauce.
  7. Step: Simmer until thick, whisking occasionally.
  8. Step: Once the salmon has cooked and the sauce is thick, add about 3/4 of the sauce to the salmon and let simmer for a few minutes to combine.
  9. Step: You can serve exactly as is, or quickly broil the salmon for 2-3 minutes to crisp it up further.
  10. Step: Assemble your bowls with a base of rice, then add your veggies, salmon and drizzle with the remaining sauce.

Notes

You can swap the honey for any sweetener of choice. You can leave the skin on the salmon or remove it based on preference.
