Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets

  • 1 tbsp honey

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: fresh parsley, orange zest, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon
    Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Make the glaze
    In a small bowl, mix Blood Orange EVOO, honey, garlic, and lemon juice.

  3. Cook the salmon
    Place salmon in a baking dish or skillet.
    Brush generously with the glaze.

  4. Bake or sear
    Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes
    OR pan-sear skin-side down, then finish in oven.

  5. Build the finish
    Brush with additional glaze during the last few minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.

  6. Finish like a pro
    Top with fresh parsley, a little orange zest, and a light drizzle of Blood Orange EVOO.

Pro Tip

Don’t overcook the salmon.
Pull it when it just starts to flake. The carryover heat will finish it.
