Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 lbs. salmon
  • kosher salt
  • zest and juice of 2 mandarin oranges (or 1 large naval orange)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1/2 tablespoon sriracha hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • fresh cilantro (for garnish (optional))

Instruction

  • Season both sides of the salmon with kosher salt.
  • OPTIONAL: for crispy salmon skin, sear skin-side down in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2-3 minutes, until browned and crispy, before proceeding.
  • Place salmon skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange top oven rack close to the broiler.
  • Mix all remaining ingredients (besides cilantro) in a small pot. Heat on stove top, whisking constantly, until sugar has melted and sauce is slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Brush some of the glaze on the top of the salmon.
  • Broil salmon for 8-10 minutes, removing to brush more glaze on top every two minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and glaze has developed a thick layer on top.
  • Serve garnished with fresh cilantro.
