Citrus Glazed Salmon
Description
This recipe features salmon cut into individual portions marinated in a mixture of citrus zests and juices from lime, lemon, and orange, mixed with garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sugar-free honey alternative. The citrus elements impart brightness and a fresh aroma, complementing the oily richness of the salmon.
After marinating for an hour in the refrigerator and bringing to room temperature, the salmon is baked at 425°F until nearly cooked through. The marinade is then simmered in a saucepan to concentrate flavors into a glaze, which is brushed onto the salmon before finishing under the broiler to develop a caramelized surface. The cooking time ensures tender, moist salmon with a lightly crisp top and intense citrus flavor.
Serving suggestions are flexible, as this salmon pairs well with a variety of sides emphasizing fresh or roasted vegetables. The glaze provides a sweet and tangy balance without excessive sugar, accommodating low-carb diets. The recipe highlights layering flavors through marination, glaze reduction, and finishing broil.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces salmon cut into 6 pieces
- lime zest and juice of 2
- lemon zest and juice of 1
- orange zest and juice of 1
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup Keto honey sugar-free
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons rosemary chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Add the zest and juice of the lemon, orange and limes to a small mixing bowl.
- Add in the rosemary, salt pepper, olive oil, garlic and sugar-free honey, then whisk to combine.
- Place the salmon in a container, then pour the citrus marinade over the tops of the salmon, making sure add sides are coated. Allow the salmon to marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Take the salmon out of the fridge and allow to come to room temperature while you preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes to make a glaze.
- Transfer the salmon to a baking sheet with a wire rack, and line the baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Bake the salmon for 10 minutes, then remove and brush the tops with the marinade glaze. Turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 2-4 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 125°F-145°F when checked with an instant read thermometer, depending on your personal preference.
- Serve with your favorite Keto friendly side or salad and store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze.
