Orange-Glazed Salmon


My first seafood cooking experience! I adapted this one from Cook Yourself Thin. The recipe called for mango nectar but I used OJ instead.

Orange-Glazed Salmon
Ingredients:
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tsp minced ginger
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp rice vinegar
5 oz orange juice
2 salmon fillets, about 1" thick

1. Stir together first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 min uncovered, until reduced by half.

2. Place salmon on a rack in a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 5.5" from heat 5 min. Brush fish with 1/2 OJ glaze, then broil 3 more min until fish flakes with a fork. Spoon remaining glaze evenly over the fish.

Spinach Salad
Ingredients:
Fresh spinach
Thinly sliced Bosc pear
Shredded carrots
Asian bean sprouts
Toasted sliced almonds (optional)

Dressing:
3 tbs rice vinegar
1 tbs sesame oil
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbs OJ

Roughly chop the spinach, toss all ingredients together.

*Note: January 4, 2013: Cooked this again with a bourbon glaze: bourbon, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a bit of mustard, brown sugar, honey, s+p. Delicious!
