Orange-Rosemary Seared Salmon Recipe

Salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat, so it’s really convenient that it’s also delicious with all kinds of seasonings, including this sweet, herbal orange glaze.

The taste says “fancy,” but it’s actually pretty simple to put together, and everything is cooked all in the same pan, so you don’t even need to get an extra dish dirty for the sauce.

The ingredients call for tapioca starch: that’s just to add some extra thickness to the sauce. You can always leave it out if you don’t want to run around trying to hunt some down or if you’re fine with a slightly thinner glaze on the fish.

Garnish it with orange slices and fresh herb sprigs if you want to get really fancy about it…or just serve it with some vegetables on the side and a generous spoonful of extra sauce.
