Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2–3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh orange zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups cooked broccoli florets
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce or tamari, orange zest, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
- Mix the cornstarch with a small amount of the prepared sauce in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear until golden on the outside and cooked through, turning gently. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour the orange sauce into the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture again and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Return the salmon to the skillet and gently toss to coat. Warm through without breaking apart the salmon.
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Add the cooked broccoli and orange-glazed salmon.
- Spoon any remaining sauce over the bowls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use 2 tablespoons of honey for a balanced glaze or 3 tablespoons for a sweeter flavor.
- Cook salmon in batches to help achieve golden edges.
- For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free tamari and check all ingredient labels.
