Orange Ginger Baked Salmon
Description
Orange Ginger Baked Salmon showcases a side of salmon partnered with a delicate sauce made from freshly squeezed orange juice, minced ginger and garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and coconut aminos (or soy sauce). This mixture is simmered and poured over the salmon and asparagus before baking, allowing the fish to absorb the citrus and umami-rich flavors. The asparagus is coated lightly in avocado oil to roast tender and slightly crisp. Baking at 375°F for 20 minutes gently cooks the salmon, resulting in flaky flesh with a flavorful glaze. Garnishing with toasted sesame seeds adds texture and aroma.
This dish pairs well with white rice to soak up the flavorful sauce, making it a balanced meal. The combination of bright orange and warm ginger provides a fresh but comforting profile that suits dinner menus. The inclusion of fresh orange slices ensures an additional citrus aroma and subtle sweetness during baking.
