Seeds Free Apple Cider Glazed Salmon
Salmon with a sticky, golden glaze is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The glaze here is built from unfiltered apple cider, honey, apple cider vinegar, fresh ginger, and a touch of turmeric — all simmered down into something deeply fragrant and just sweet enough to balance the richness of the fish. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of seeds, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. The technique is straightforward: a hard sear on the flesh side first, then a flip and a generous spoonful of glaze to finish, locking in moisture while the edges caramelize beautifully. Coconut oil gives the skin a gorgeous, crispy finish that holds up under all that glossy sauce. A squeeze of lemon and a scatter of fresh parsley at the end brighten the whole plate and make it look like something you'd order at a restaurant.

Combine the apple cider, honey, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, turmeric, and thyme sprigs in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
