Easy Salmon Recipe Everyone Loves

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. It’s full of vibrant orange flavor which pairs perfectly with the fresh rosemary.

I love skillet seared salmon because you get that delicious, slightly crisped golden brown exterior and a perfectly fall apart tender interior.  And not only do you get incredible flavor here but you can have this salmon ready in no time!

Extra Orange Glaze for Veggies and Rice

I recommend serving this orange glazed salmon with a side of rice or couscous and some steamed asparagus or broccoli. It makes quite a bit of sauce so the extra sauce goes perfectly over the rice.

Thankfully you can find pretty good navel oranges year round these days so this is a recipe you can make any day of the year. It’s packed with fresh flavor and it’s a healthy dinner everyone will enjoy.

I love that it’s a hearty and filling dish too thanks to the healthy fats in the salmon. And I also love that picky kids even like this!

So now when you see those salmon fillets go on sale this month you’ll know just what to make! Then after you try this recipe I have plenty more salmon recipes for you to try.
