Spicy Orange Salmon

Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
4 5 or 6-oz wild caught salmon fillets
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 green onions finely sliced
Sweet + Spicy Orange Sauce:
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
4 cloves fresh garlic minced
1 small sweet onion finely chopped or grated
1 Tbsp fresh ginger peeled and grated
1/4 cup cup no sugar added orange marmalade
2 Tbsps apple cider vinegar
1 red chili seeded and finely chopped
2 Tbsps gluten-free flour or Arrowroot powder
Optional: cooked brown rice chopped cucumbers drizzled with apple cider vinegar, sea salt & white pepper

Instructions

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add in all of your orange sauce ingredients and whisk until well combined.
Simmer for about 10 minutes on low heat until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened a bit, stirring here and there.
Next, using an immersion blender, very carefully puree this sauce until smooth, then cover with lid and set aside.
Season your salmon fillets with sea salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large skillet and once hot add in the salmon. Sear until beautifully golden brown about 3 minutes on each side.
Drizzle in your sauce over and continue to cook until hot and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes more.
Once your fish is cooked and flakes easily with a fork, remove from heat and garnish with green onions.
Serve with cooked brown rice and chopped cucumbers if desired.
This entire meal makes for a great meal prep idea! Simply store in sealed glass containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!

While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.

Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
