This Garlic Orange Glazed Salmon is easy, quick, and full of flavor! Fresh garlic, rosemary, and orange combine to create a delicious dinner that is Whole30, gluten free, and dairy free.
This Garlic Orange Glazed Salmon is such a great weeknight meal. It comes together so fast and means dinner can be on the table in under 20 minutes. I know that's what I need right now. My life has been super busy and I just don't have as much time as I used to to get dinner made. I know you're probably in the same position and a quick meal is always nice.
I have to admit that cooking fish is an area I don't feel super confident in, but I'm happy to say that this recipe is so easy that even a beginner can make it! I tested it a couple times to make sure I got times and measurements perfect- I am feeling a little better about fish now.
The freshness of the orange and rosemary pair perfectly with the garlic and make the most delicious glaze for the salmon. 6-8 minutes is the perfect amount of time to cook the salmon- it was flaky and moist and almost too easy! This is a meal I know I'll make again because how quick and delicious it is!
One important tip is to make sure you have your garlic and rosemary chopped because the recipe moves quick and it's best to have everything ready. I even zest and juice the orange before the salmon goes in the oven- it makes it so much easier.
