6 Serving(s)
Ingredients
- 24 oz. Schnucks fresh Atlantic skinless salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp. canola oil
- 3 tbsp. minced fresh garlic
- 2 navel oranges, zested & juiced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. Schnucks less-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp. crushed red pepper
- 1 tsp. Schnucks cornstarch
- 2 Dole Hibachi-Miso Chopped Salad Kits (10 oz.)
- 2 mandarin oranges, peeled & segmented, for garnish
Instructions
- On a cutting board, pat salmon dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper, if desired.
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Sear salmon until golden brown, 3–4 minutes. Add garlic, orange zest and juice, vinegar, soy sauce and red pepper to skillet. Gently flip salmon; cook, basting with sauce, until it flakes easily with a fork, 3–4 minutes more. Reserving liquid in skillet, transfer salmon to a plate and tent with foil.
- Reduce heat to low; whisk cornstarch into skillet until dissolved. Continue whisking until sauce thickens, 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat; return salmon to skillet and spoon with glaze.
- Prepare salad kits according to instructions. Serve with glazed salmon and garnish with mandarin orange slices.
Cooking Tips
- The acid of citrus offers a great counterbalance to the seafood's briny flavor, creating the perfect combination with every bite.
- For a soy- and gluten-free option, swap 1 tablespoon soy sauce to 1 tablespoon coconut amino.
