Salmon is a universal favorite, and it cooks quite quickly, so you'll even have time to briefly marinate it for maximum flavor while you prepare the rest of the dish. In this recipe, a mixture of maple syrup, soy sauce, and orange juice imparts a sweet-salty flavor with refreshing citrus notes and gently caramelizes on the surface of the fish as it bakes. Serve the salmon with a light garnish of cauliflower, chopped pistachios, and dried cranberries.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  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.
