You know there is a reason why citrus often accompanies fish. For starters, the citric acid cuts through the fish oils to ensure that the lovely sea flavor is never overwhelming. Additionally, citrus is a pleasant contrast. The natural saltiness of the fish combined with the sweet citrusy taste creates a perfectly balanced bite every single time. Just Love it!!!! Everything about the recipe just works and all the elements meld flawlessly.
I just had to push this Fish and citrus combo a few steps further. The glaze consists of orange, and lemon juice and as if this duo is not delicious enough, honey is added for additional sweetness and for thickening purposes along with thyme and cumin. Yes, you can do without it. However, it delivers an extra kick. The thyme is such a is a great addition. Couple with the fact that I DIG it, I use it in most of my recipes. It delivers such a subtle aroma, comparable to mint while paprika and cumin kick the glaze up a few notches.
If you want lemony and spicy salmon bites instead, you can switch this one up anytime with my Oven Baked Salmon below. It’s as easy as this Orange Honey Glazed Salmon and something that your family would also love too.
For a delectable meal every time, don’t over overcook the fish and make sure the glaze is flavorful and thick FYI, perfectly cooked salmon is light and flaky. It has a good mouthfeel and isn’t at all dry or tough. As for the glaze, the goal is one that adheres well to the fish. Every inch should have a flavorful coating. Serve this salmon with whole-grain couscous and steamed broccoli. They make such a delicious and healthy pair. Or just go just serve with rice, vegetables Enjoy!!!
