Instructions
Blood Orange Glaze
- Simmer brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and blood orange juice in saucepan over medium-high heat until mixture begins to boil.
- Lower to medium-low heat and continue simmering.
- Simmer for 7-13 minutes, until the glaze has thickened and reduced to 1/2 of original amount. Set aside.
Salmon
- Blot each side of the salmon fillet with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place salmon fillets on a non-stick foil-lined baking sheet.
- Evenly sprinkle the top sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, creole seasoning, and cayenne pepper (if desired).
- Brush blood orange glaze over fillets.
- Bake fillets for 10 minutes, then brush remaining glaze over each and set oven to broil.
- Cook until glaze sticks to fillets and salmon is firm and opaque, about 2-3 minutes more, making sure not to overcook.
