Key Ingredients

• Salmon – I purchased four pre-cut salmon fillets, but feel free to purchase one big piece and slice after cooking. I recommend purchasing wild-caught salmon if available as it is less fatty.
• Limes + Oranges – Salmon loves citrus. Feel free to add a little lemon in there, too, if you’d like.
• Parsley + Cilantro – You really want to use fresh cilantro and parsley in this recipe. Dried herbs won’t taste the same.
• Garlic – Go as crazy or add as little fresh garlic as you’d like. I personally love fresh garlic, especially when combined with citrus juice, salty soy sauce, and sweet chili sauce.
• Red Chili Flakes + Ground Cumin – If you’re sensitive to spicy foods, I recommend holding off on the red chili flakes or using half of what is recommended.
• Sweet Chili Sauce – You may use your favorite store-bought sweet chili sauce or make your own homemade sweet chili sauce. Either way, sweet chili sauce is key to this recipe. If you can’t find any and don’t have time to make your own, I recommend adding 2-3 tablespoons of honey to the marinade.
• Soy Sauce – Soy sauce ties all the flavors together. Use the amount I listed as a suggestion, add more or less, to taste.
• Veggies – Since you’re baking everything on one baking sheet at the same time, it’s important to add veggies that cook pretty quickly. Bell peppers, onion, asparagus, and bok choy are all great options.

How to make Orange Glazed Salmon

For this recipe, you will need aluminum foil and at least one (maybe two) baking sheet. I like using rimmed baking sheets, like these jelly roll pans, to keep any juices from spilling over the sides as the salmon cooks.

1. Preheat your oven to high broil and line 1-2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil (if you like extra veggies, you’ll definitely need two baking sheets).
2. Add the lime juice, orange zest and juice, water, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, sweet chili sauce, cumin, and red chili flakes to a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine.
3. Transfer the salmon fillets and vegetables to the prepared baking sheet. Arrange everything in a single layer, with the salmon cooked skin-side-down.
4. Cover the salmon and the vegetables with approximately half of the prepared marinade. Gently toss to coat.
5. Broil for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the peppers are just starting to char around the edges and the salmon is fully cooked through (145 degrees F). Rotate the pan once during cooking.
6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with the remaining marinade.

How to Serve

I like to serve this yummy orange-glazed salmon with a simple side of brown rice, quinoa, or a bowl full of ramen noodles.

Other yummy starchy sides include mashed potatoes,baked sweet potatoes,orgarlic roasted potatoes.

Prefer something a little lower in carbs? Try serving it with a side of cauliflower rice, mashed cauliflower, or zucchini noodles.
