Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each), cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons 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 orange zest
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 2 cups cooked broccoli
Instructions
- Whisk together orange juice, zest, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add cubed salmon and marinate for 15 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium-low and sauté garlic and ginger for about 2 minutes.
- Remove salmon from marinade and cook in the skillet for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Reserve marinade.
- In a separate saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a low boil. Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir it into the sauce. Simmer until thickened.
- Add 3/4 of the thickened sauce to the salmon in the skillet and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Optional: Broil the salmon for 2–3 minutes to make it extra crispy.
