Introducing: Sweet and Spicy Citrus Salmon

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that is perfect for those lazy summer evenings when you want something light yet flavorful. This Sweet and Spicy Citrus Salmon dish is a unique combination of tangy citrus flavors and a kick of heat that will leave your taste buds tingling.

Ingredients:

  • salmon fillets (250g each)
  • freshly squeezed orange juice (100ml)
  • honey (50g)
  • sriracha sauce (15ml)
  • garlic powder (5g)
  • fresh ginger, grated (10g)
  • green onions, chopped (30g)
  • toasted sesame seeds (10g)

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • grater
  • oven

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, honey, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, and grated ginger. Whisk until well combined.

Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well-coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors soak in.

Once marinated, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Sprinkle the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the salmon before serving. This dish is best enjoyed hot, straight out of the oven.

Tips:

For an extra burst of citrus flavor, try adding some freshly grated lemon zest to the marinade before baking the salmon. The combination of orange, ginger, and lemon creates a zesty explosion in every bite.

Serving:

This recipe makes 2 servings, with each serving weighing approximately 300g. One serving of this Sweet and Spicy Citrus Salmon is approximately 350 calories.

I hope you enjoy trying out this Sweet and Spicy Citrus Salmon dish. Feel free to experiment with different citrus fruits or adjust the level of spiciness to suit your taste. Bon appétit!
