Now, I suggest you taste your orange first, because oranges can vary significantly in flavor and sweetness. If your orange is really tangy, you may wish to either add a tat of sweetness (sugar/stevia/etc), or add the orange to your dish after your salmon has been in the oven for 10 minutes.

For 3 Servings.

Ingredients

  • 3 salmon steaks
  • 1 orange, cut in slices + zest of that same orange, cut into tiny slivers (with the white of the peel discarded)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste (I use this very sparingly)
  • Sprinkle of a milt leafy green for decoration (and flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • (optional: 1 teaspoon of sugar, to use if your orange is very tangy)
  • Balsamic vinegar

Directions to make this Orange-glazed Salmon Recipe

  • Place salmon steaks in a pre-greased oven dish.
  • Arrange orange slices and orange zest on top of steaks
  • Sprinkle over salt, pepper, and olive oil
  • Place pan in a preheated oven (200 C| 400 F) and bake till the salmon is flakey (approx 15 min, dependent on thickness of steak).
  • Sprinkle over a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar and some green toppings for garnish before serving.

Serve with a simple salad and crusty bread or jasmine rice.

Easy lunch or dinner, that’s festive and light.
