Ingredients

  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon orange zest, grated

  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Grated orange zest for garnish

Directions

  • Preheat an oven to 400°F.

  • In a saucepan on high heat, boil the brown sugar, soy sauce, orange zest, pineapple juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat and simmer until it reduces to about 1/4 cup. Set aside.

  • Heat the canola oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Season the salmon with the remaining salt and the black pepper on both sides, then place on the hot frying pan for 3-5 minutes.

  • Flip each fillet over and place on a cooking sheet lined with foil. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes. Brush each fillet with the sauce mixture, then return to the oven and broil until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  • Serve hot with orange zest sprinkled on top of each fillet.
