Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and place them into the prepared baking dish.
Pour the ginger and orange sauce evenly over the salmon fillets in the baking dish.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions, if desired.
