Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 orange Zest of an orange
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 orange Orange slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined.
Brush the orange glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with optional orange slices for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Enjoy your delicious Light Orange Roasted Salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
