Instructions
Creating Orange Glazed Salmon is simple when following these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Season the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet, skin-side down.
6. Add Remaining Marinade: Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon for added flavor.
7. Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Glaze: During the last 5 minutes of baking, turn on the broiler to caramelize the glaze slightly for an extra touch of flavor.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley and orange slices if desired.
10. Serve: Serve immediately while hot.
These straightforward steps ensure that you create a delightful dish that is both delicious and visually appealing.
