Garlic Orange Glazed Salmon

Salmon is my favorite fish. In fact, it's pretty much the only one I eat....and 90% of the time it's what I order when we go out to a nice restaurant for dinner. I especially enjoy the salmon + citrus combination so I had a feeling this one would be a winner before I even tried it!

Ingredients:

  • 2 wild sockeye salmon filets 
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • zest of 1 orange
  • juice of 2 oranges
  • 1 tsp tapioca starch

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 

2. Salt each salmon fillet with 1/2 tsp salt and bake in a shallow baking dish for 6-10 minutes (depending on the size of the fillet)

3. While salmon is baking, combine ghee and garlic in a sauce pan over medium heat and cook for about 3 minutes

4. Add rosemary, orange zest, and orange juice. Cook for another 3 minutes

5. Stir in the tapioca starch, making sure to whisk well so that no clumps remain. Stir until slightly thickened and then remove from heat

6. Remove salmon from oven and top with garlic orange sauce
