My husband and I love salmon, so I am constantly on the search for new ways to prepare it. I found this recipe on Pinterest, and it is now quite possibly one of my favorite recipes for  salmon.  It’s SOOOO good!

The original recipe was inspired by Cooking Light, and features pan-seared salmon fillets covered with a fresh, thickened citrus glaze. It’s delicious, and so very easy to prepare!  The recipe makes 4 servings.

How To Prepare Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon

I only cooked 2 salmon fillets since only two of us were eating, but I kept the sauce amount the same as written (and saved the extra sauce for another time).  Here’s how to make this delicious orange rosemary glazed salmon:

Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet. Salt and pepper salmon fillets on both sides. When olive oil is really hot (but not smoking), add the salmon to skillet (it should sizzle when it hits the pan).

Cook the salmon fillets for 3-4 minutes, then carefully turn salmon over and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked.

When done and golden brown, remove the browned salmon from the skillet (leaving the hot oil in the skillet). Keep the cooked salmon warm.

Make The Sauce For Orange Rosemary Glazed Salmon

Turn the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and rosemary, and cook, stirring often, for about 20-30 seconds.

Pour 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons) of chicken broth to the skillet. Stir the ingredients, to combine. Cook this on a low simmer until most of the liquid has reduced in volume.

The next thing to do is to add the orange zest, lemon juice, honey and orange juice to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Now the orange sauce will begin to smell wonderful!

Garnish each orange rosemary glazed salmon fillet with a fresh rosemary sprig, and fresh orange slice, if desired. Serve, and enjoy this wonderful dinner!
