How to Make Salmon with Orange Sauce

Orange glazed salmon is a citrusy sweet salmon recipe that I guarantee you’ll have on repeat. With just a handful of ingredients including salmon, orange juice, garlic, honey, tamari and thyme, it’s also incredibly easy to make (takes less than 30 minutes!).

Ingredients: Salmon fillet 1 Orange 2 tablespoons of butter 2 tablespoons of olive oil 1/2 teaspoon of grated orange zest 3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ginger root paste 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice Dash of salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook salmon and it takes little effort. In this recipe, the orange sauce is what sets the salmon apart. If you’re looking for a lighter summer meal, this is a great choice

• Salmon is high in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 are great for eye health, heart disease, and reducing inflammation in the body. Read more about Salmon’s anti-inflammatory properties in my 8 Anti-Inflammatory Foods I Eat Every Week.
• Salmon is a great source of potassium. This fish actually has more potassium than equally sized banana. Potassium is important for controlling blood pressure, which in turn can reduce the risk for having a stroke.
• Salmon gets its red pigmentation from astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant. In combination with Omega-3 fatty acid, astaxanthin is believed to protect the nervous system and brain from inflammation.
