Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Sprinkle the salmon fillets evenly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, pressing gently so the pepper adheres.
Brush the prepared orange marmalade glaze generously over the top of the salmon fillets, coating each piece evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil over and around the fillets to help keep them moist during cooking.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For extra caramelization, you can broil the salmon on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to plates and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad. Enjoy!
