Super Fast: Hoison-Glazed Salmon

By junodemelo

Sometimes I like to pretend my betrothed doesn’t dislike salmon. I pretend this because, frankly, I really like salmon and relationships are all about sacrifices. And in my insistence to continue making salmon for a non-fan, I have found two recipes thus far that pass muster. One is the delightfully economical salmon cakes, and the other is this hoisin-glazed salmon. If you, too, have a salmon hater in your house, take heart.

This recipe is another winner from Great Food Fast, the Everyday Food cookbook. I’m a fan not only because my fiancé will eat it, and somewhat happily at that, but because there are four ingredients, plus salt and pepper, and the fish is ready quicker than a steady hand can draw on liquid eyeliner, though the results taste much more labor-intensive. This, in my book, officially makes this recipe the ideal weeknight dinner when you hate the world, want to get dinner over and done with and yourself prone on the couch as quickly as possible. And I think you know the kind of nights I mean.

Ingredients

• 1/2 tablespoon orange juice
