Clementine Glazed Salmon : Perfect For the Christmas and Holiday Season

Well, we are now in December and the countdown to Christmas or the holiday celebrations continue. Regular readers will know, I do enjoy salmon, so when I saw this recipe I definitely thought it one to share. It may give you an idea for a Christmas dinner main, or an easy meal for over the holiday season or perhaps an impressive New Year's Day lunch! Whenever you choose to enjoy this salmon recipe, I'm sure it won't disappoint! 


Ingredients
Serves Four
500g boneless salmon half side
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
2cm piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
6 clementines, 4 zested and juiced, 2 thinly sliced
2 tbsp clear honey
½ tsp reduced-salt soy sauce
1 cinnamon stick or star anise
2 tsp olive oil
10g fresh coriander, leaves picked
5g fresh chives, snipped
2 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced​

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Lay the salmon, skin-side down, on a lined baking tray.
2. Put the garlic, ginger, clementine zest and juice in a saucepan with the honey, soy sauce and cinnamon stick. Bubble over a medium-high heat for 3-5 mins until thickened and syrupy.
3. Brush the salmon with the oil, arrange the sliced clementines on top, then pour over the clementine glaze. Bake for 12-15 mins until cooked through but still slightly pink in the centre.
4. Transfer to a platter; drizzle over the glaze from the tray. Scatter with the herbs and spring onions (scallions).
