Orange Honey Salmon in the Forest 😍🔥🔥

Today I’m sharing a recipe for pan-fried and orange glazed salmon. As delicious as baked salmon is there is something extra yummy about that seared, lightly browned and crusty exterior with the tender, flaky interior. Couple that with a luscious glaze and it’s all the yummier.

No hot ovens or baking involved, just a quick searing in the pan and a brief simmer and this Honey Orange Glazed Salmon is ready in less than 30 minutes for your casual family dinner, romantic couple’s night in, or your elegant dinner party!

What to Serve with Honey Orange Glazed Salmon
When serving this orange glazed salmon, you can choose from a variety of side dishes to create a well-rounded meal. Here are a few ideas:

Rice or Quinoa: Fluffy rice or nutty quinoa are both great neutral sides that will soak up the flavorful sauce of the Orange Glazed Salmon.
Roasted or Mashed Potatoes: Whether crispy-creamy roasted potatoes or buttery smooth mashed potatoes, either of these are excellent choices.
Roasted Vegetables: For something extra lovely, try a medley of roasted vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, carrots, and asparagus. The slightly smoky-charred flavors go beautifully with the citrusy sweetness of the orange honey glaze.
Steamed or Sautéed Greens: A bed of steamed or sautéed greens such as spinach, Swiss chard, or kale makes a simple yet elegant and nutritious side. The green is also visually complementary to the orange.
Couscous or Bulgur Salad: For a cold side dish a couscous or bulgur salad makes a great option. Add some diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs and toss the salad with a lemon vinaigrette.
