Orange-Rosemary Glazed Salmon

An easy salmon recipe that is full of flavor? Yes please! This skillet salmon makes for the perfect weeknight meal yet it’s something fancy enough to serve to guests on the weekend. It’s full of vibrant orange flavor which pairs perfectly with the fresh rosemary. And the best part – you can easily have this ready in 30 minutes!

This salmon is so good you’ll likely find your kids loving it too! My kids kept saying how much they loved it and that can be tricky to get from them with salmon. I love skillet seared salmon because you get the delicious, slightly crisped golden brown exterior and a perfectly fall apart tender interior.

I recommend serving this salmon with a side of rice or couscous and some steamed asparagus or broccoli. It makes quite a bit of sauce so it goes perfectly over the rice. When orange season comes this winter you might just find this on your menu every week! It’s packed with fresh flavor and it’s a perfectly healthy dinner everyone will enjoy.
