This recipe is an ode to healthy fusion cooking, combining the essential fatty acids in salmon with the anti-inflammatory properties of ginger and the vitamin C in orange. The onion base adds a sweet, mellow foundation that perfectly balances the intensity of oily fish. It is a vibrant, aromatic dish that is very easy to digest. When seasoned with Bonsalt, we enhance the citrus and spicy flavors without adding sodium, thus protecting your cardiovascular and arterial health.

Step-by-Step Professional Preparation
-
The onion base: In a pan with the olive oil, cook the julienned onion over medium-low heat with a pinch of Bonsalt until tender and lightly caramelized (about 10-12 minutes).
-
Aromatics: Add the grated fresh ginger to the onion and stir for one minute so it releases its aroma without burning.
-
Citrus reduction: Pour in the orange juice and splash of soy sauce. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Cooking the salmon: Season the salmon fillets with black pepper and the rest of the Bonsalt. Place the fillets in the pan on top of the onion bed.
-
Cooking point: Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness). The orange steam will help keep the salmon extremely juicy inside.
-
Finishing: Serve the salmon topped with the onion and sauce reduction. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives or sesame seeds on top.
Nutritionist's Tips
Salmon is one of the best sources of Omega-3, essential for brain and heart health. By combining it with ginger, we improve digestive function and add a thermogenic touch to the meal. Using Bonsalt is key here, since soy sauce (even the low-salt kind) already adds sodium; using Bonsalt lets you season the fish as needed without compromising the health of those watching their blood pressure.
It's an exquisite, quick, and health-packed dinner to share with friends or family!
