Honey Glazed Salmon

My boyfriend and I absolutely love this dish! It has so much flavor, the salmon is moist and well seasoned, and if cooked correctly (which I admit, I've screwed up a few times) the fish pairs nicely with some steamed veggies and a glass of white wine.

What you'll need:
(2) fresh salmon fillets
1/4 cup orange juice
olive oil
honey
balsamic vinaigrette
honey mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
Vietnamese chili garlic sauce
soy sauce
salt/pepper/chili powder/onion powder/paprika
veggies of any kind


Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350
In a bowl, combine some olive oil, the orange juice, 3-4 big squeezes of honey, soy sauce, 2 tbs balsamic vinaigrette, the lemon juice, a couple scoops of the chili garlic sauce, onion powder. chili powder, paprika and the chicken broth.  Whisk together.

In a separate bowl, season the fish with your course salt/pepper on both sides.  Lay skin side down in a regular baking dish.  Poke a few holes in the fish to allow the sauce to soak in the fish and let sit for about 5-10 minutes.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.

As your fish is baking, in a pot, steam some veggies until cooked, but still crunchy.

Natasha's Suggestions: I normally steam up some asparagus as my veggies.  I might also do a side salad since my boyfriend and I really love veggies and salads.  I will also cook up some ride on the side, throw in a little bit of soy sauce and top it off with some green onions.
