Glazed Orange-Ginger Salmon

Just experimenting with this recipe, but it sounds great!

2 pounds salmon fillet
1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon ginger
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon honey
salt and ground black pepper to taste

  1. Place orange juice in a small saucepan and cook on low for about 5-10 minutes or until reduced by about half. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. Add balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and honey and stir.
  3. Marinate for 1-8 hours in refrigerator.
  4. Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
  5. Place salmon skin side down in baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Pour about half of the marinade over the salmon.
  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes then brush with remaining marinade. Bake until salmon is easily flaked with fork, about another 10-15 minutes.
This one sounds really good to me. I've been trying to get my family to eat more healthy food, and salmon is certainly good for that. I found a good deal on it a few weeks ago in the grocery store, and the salmon has been sitting in the freezer until I had a chance to use it. It would have been right away, but the day after I bought the salmon was the day I had my son by urgent C-section. So much for planned meals from that shopping trip!

My favorite baking pan is my Pyrex 3-qt. Rectangular Baking Dish. Very easy to clean, although there is always the possibility of breaking it, even though Pyrex is quite strong. I also like my nonstick pans, but that eventually wears off from most products.
