Orange-Rosemary Glazed Salmon
Description
This recipe begins by seasoning salmon fillets simply with salt and pepper before searing them in olive oil until browned and cooked through. The pan is then used to prepare a glaze, where garlic and rosemary are sautéed briefly to release aroma, followed by deglazing with chicken broth and reducing it to concentrate flavors.
Next, fresh orange and lemon juice combined with honey are added for a bright, sweet, and slightly tangy sauce. Cornstarch mixed with chicken broth is whisked in to thicken the glaze into a glossy coating. The cooked salmon returns to the pan to be spooned with the sauce, absorbing the citrus and herb notes.
This dish can be served with sides such as steamed vegetables or rice. The glaze delivers balanced acidity and sweetness which complements the richness of the salmon without overpowering it, while rosemary adds a fragrant earthiness.
