Skillet Salmon With Valencia Orange Glaze

Our favorite weeknight dinners are all about simple and fresh ingredients, and this is one meal in particular that the whole family looks forward to. The recipe is bright and flavorful, and if you have kids like I do, it’s an easy cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 1 California Valencia orange, zested and juiced (plus extra slices for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pound wild salmon (about 2 to 3 fillets)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 430°F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the orange zest and juice, honey, coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, garlic powder, and salt, and stir to combine.
  • Using a baking dish or zip-top bag, combine the salmon with the orange and honey glaze.
  • Set a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Pan-sear the salmon fillets for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness. While the salmon bakes, cut thin slices of Valencia oranges for garnishing.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and serve with the Valencia orange slices on top.
