Orange Five Spice Glazed Salmon

Orange Five Spice Glazed Salmon

Here's one of those recipes that results when there's nothing in the fridge. A few simple ingredients thrown together to create a tasty citrus glaze saved us from a boring dinner one night last week. This is one I'll make again.

Serves 4

Glaze

• 1 ½  cups orange juice
• 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ½ tsp pepper
• 1 tsp five spice powder
• Few drops sesame oil

 

Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes before thickening with a slurry of 1 tsp corn starch dissolved in a little water.

• Four 6 ounce salmon fillet portions, about 1 1/2 inches thick

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the salmon fillets on a parchment lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and bake for about 15 minutes. At his point begin brushing the glaze on the salmon and returning it to the oven for a couple of minutes between coatings. I normally glaze it about 3 times. You can always add more of the sauce to the fish when serving.
