Seafood Soups, Sides, Veg & Salads Vegetables

Salmon with Spicy Orange Glaze and Grilled Asparagus

Yum
 The sauce… Oh My Goodness! Amazing! I served this with Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus. The husband loved the sauce as much as I did, omit the chilli if you are serving it to the kids. I promise you they will love it too! I thought the citrusy, sweet, and savoury sauce compliments seafood really nicely, it will work with chicken too!
 
Again, this has a little Thai influence as I chose to use fish sauce as my seasoning, if you aren’t too big on fish sauce, substitute it for soy sauce. Cake piping tips are not limited to cake and cupcake decorations only. You can use it to plate your dishes, just like that I did for my mashed potatoes here! 
 
Do take the time to know more about your food source. Learn about farmed vs wild caught fish, especially if you are planning to feed your children. Know what you are eating, and taste the difference. Here are some of my other salmon recipes:
