Blood Orange Sesame Salmon Recipe

Name: Blood Orange Sesame Salmon
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 80 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients: 2 salmon filets; 2 tsp sesame oil; 2 tsp red wine vinegar; 1 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp honey; 0.5 blood orange; 2 garlic cloves; 2 tsp sesame seeds; 1 tbsp ginger; 1 tsp cumin

This salmon gets a bright, savory-sweet character from a marinade built with blood orange, sesame oil, soy sauce, and a hint of ginger and garlic. The filets soak up those flavors for at least an hour before baking, which helps them emerge from the oven with a lightly crisp top and a tender, flaky inside. It's a straightforward main course that feels a bit special, especially when paired with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
