Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 large orange orange slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and evenly pour half of the marinade over the salmon, reserving the other half for later.
Arrange orange slices around and on top of the salmon, and transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven.
Roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon is roasting, heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the thickened marinade over the fillets.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
