Orange-Glazed Roasted Salmon

(Bright, citrusy, and smoky with a touch of green tea depth)
Ingredients (serves 2-3):
  • 9g Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning (adds subtle smokiness)
  • 500g fresh salmon fillet (skin-on)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice (no pulp)
  • 2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • Garnish: Fresh dill + orange slices
Method:
  1. Prepare the Glaze:
    • Whisk orange juice, zest, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and green tea seasoning in a bowl.
  2. Marinate the Salmon:
    • Pat salmon dry. Brush with olive oil, season with salt & pepper.
    • Place in a shallow dish and pour half the glaze over the salmon. Marinate 15-20 minutes.
  3. Roast to Perfection:
    • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with foil.
    • Roast salmon skin-side down for 12-15 minutes (until internal temp reaches 50°C/120°F for medium-rare).
    • Brush remaining glaze over salmon during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  4. Finish & Serve:
    • Rest salmon 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh dill and orange slices.
    • Pair with steamed asparagus or a citrus salad.
Chef’s Notes:
  • The green tea seasoning enhances the citrus glaze’s brightness without overpowering the delicate salmon.
  • For extra char, broil for the final 1-2 minutes.
  • Leftovers? Flake into salads or toss with cold noodles for a refreshing meal.
A vibrant, healthy dish that’s perfect for weeknights or entertaining. Enjoy the burst of citrus and smoky depth in every bite!
