topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons lightly salted soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. l. freshly squeezed orange juice + 1 tsp. grated orange zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4 salmon fillets (center cut), preferably wild, skinless
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets (1 small head)
  • 1/4 cup low-fat, low-sodium chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios or almonds
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, 2 cloves of garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the salmon and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place the cauliflower and broth in a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap and heat until the cauliflower is tender, 6 minutes.
  3. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Pat the fish dry, season with salt and pepper, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and remaining garlic clove in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook, breaking up the garlic with a spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and broth, cranberries, pistachios, orange zest, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste and stir to heat through. Serve with the fish.
