Author Notes
Our favorite weeknight dinners are all about simple and fresh ingredients, and this is one meal in particular that the whole family looks forward to. The recipe is bright and flavorful, and if you have kids like I do, it’s an easy cleanup.
To make this dish, start with a citrusy glaze made with fresh California Valencia oranges, honey, coconut aminos to balance the sweetness, some avocado oil, and a dash of garlic powder. Coat the salmon with the glaze, then sear it in a skillet and finish in the oven with a quick bake. It’s ready in 30 minutes, which is perfect for hungry kids that don’t wanna wait too long. This salmon goes well with anything from roasted seasonal veggies (bell peppers, zucchini, or sweet potatoes) to fluffy white rice, while the glaze can go on any other protein or veggie mix. —jeannette ogden
