Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon with Quinoa
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 cloves minced garlic, and 2 tbsp soy sauce to make the glaze.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
- Pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon, until the glaze has thickened and the salmon is fully coated.
- To serve, spoon the cooked quinoa onto plates and top with the honey garlic glazed salmon fillets. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
The history of Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon served over a bed of quinoa is a fusion of flavors and cultures. This dish combines the sweetness of honey, the savory richness of garlic, and the delicate taste of salmon, all served on a nutritious bed of quinoa. Originating from the Pacific Northwest, renowned for its fresh seafood, this dish has become a staple in many upscale restaurants. Chefs have perfected the art of balancing the flavors, ensuring the salmon is perfectly glazed and the quinoa is fluffy and flavorful. For the best version of this dish, visit seafood restaurants in Seattle or Vancouver. The key to this dish is the perfect balance of sweet and savory in the glaze, and the quinoa must be cooked to perfection to complement the salmon. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate Asian-inspired flavors such as soy sauce or ginger into the glaze, adding an extra layer of complexity to the dish.
