Ingredients
Glaze
- zest of one orange
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- pinch cayenne
Dry rub
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1- 1⅓ lbs salmon fillet, cut into 4 servings
- 1 tsp avocado oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together all ingredients for the glaze. Bring to a boil and then reduce immediately, whisking constantly until thickened, about 1 minute. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- In a small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and then sprinkle the dry rub evenly on the salmon.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, flesh side down, and cook until browned, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, flip the salmon and cook skin side down for 2 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the glaze on top of the salmon and transfer to the oven.
- Roast the salmon for 10-12 minutes, depending on preference and thickness of fillets.
