Orange-Glazed Salmon with Herbs 📜🐟🍊 (Patreon)

A lot of people asked for the recipe from our recent cooking short, so Hai wrote down everything he used to make it! Just a heads-up — he usually cooks without measuring, so feel free to adjust the amounts to your taste. 💕

Ingredients: (Serves Two People) 📜

2 salmon fillets (400g)

Asparagus

Salt and pepper

2 cloves of garlic, minced (optional, for garlic lovers)

20g fresh dill

1 tsp orange zest

180ml fresh orange juice

1 tbsp honey or sugar

2 tsp cornstarch (for thickening the sauce)

Rice (you can prepare it as you normally do, as a side, if you'd like)

Instructions: 🧑‍🍳

Step 1: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a pan over medium heat, then sear the salmon until golden on both sides. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, aim for medium doneness to avoid dryness.

Step 2: Add minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for about 10 seconds until fragrant. Add 20ml of water and simmer gently until reduced by half. Then add orange zest, orange juice, and honey.

Step 3: Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Pour the mixture back into the pan. Season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil for 1 minute to thicken the sauce.

Step 4: Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the sauce over the fillets.

Finally, stir-fry some asparagus until just cooked and serve it with the salmon. We choose to enjoy our salmon with rice, too.

This orange herb-glazed salmon is best enjoyed freshly made and hot. 📜🐟🍊
