- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it liberally with cooking spray. Gather the ingredients for the Orange Ginger Salmon and vegetables. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel, season both sides with salt and pepper, and place it on the baking sheet.
- In a small glass bowl, combine all of the ingredients listed under the Orange Ginger Glaze to make the glaze for the salmon (i.e., marmalade, soy sauce, etc.). Microwave the mixture for 30-40 seconds to slightly reduce the liquid. Place in the refrigerator to cool for about 5 minutes.
- In the meantime, place the orange slices on the foil next to the salmon and sprinkle the top of oranges with sugar. Take the cooled glaze and spoon it generously over the top of the salmon (do not touch the salmon with the spoon to avoid contamination). Be sure to reserve some of the liquid to pour over the salmon after it has cooked. Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes and remove it from the oven (turn the oven to broil).
- To prepare the veggies, begin by cutting off the tops of the peas and slicing the carrots diagonally. Add them to a medium-size bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine the Sesame Sauce ingredients. Pour the sauce over the veggies and stir to coat evenly. Microwave the veggies, covered, for 1 minute and 30 seconds until gently steamed and tender. Set aside as the salmon continues to cook.
- Next, bring the oven's temperature to broil and return the salmon to the oven. Allow the salmon and oranges to brown (slightly blacken) for 3-5 minutes. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon while it is warm before serving. Pair the salmon with the sesame veggies and enjoy!
