Chinese Orange Glazed Salmon Foil Dinners

One of my favorite things about living in San Diego is the abundance of fresh seafood, right in my backyard!

I recently moved from downtown to the beach and just up the hill from my new home is a place I love called Catalina Offshore. They provide seafood for all of the best restaurants in San Diego. They’re also open to the public, so you can go in and buy the best seafood that restaurants use to serve at home in your own kitchen!

Chinese Orange Glazed Salmon Recipe

I went in the other day on a mission to get some delicious salmon and came out with the most buttery, melt-in-your-mouth salmon I’ve ever tasted!

This salmon is what I used in this Orange Glazed Salmon recipe. This recipe was inspired by two of my favorite recipes for Chinese Orange Chicken and Pesto Baked Salmon Foil Dinners.

I could drink the sauce on that Chinese Orange Chicken which is why I had to find another recipe to use it in! And I love foil dinners because they’re easy to make, and SO easy to clean up!
