This tangy baked salmon with orange recipe will sure delight and surprise you with its wonderfully rich flavor. It’s an easy to prepare recipe that you’ll just pop in the oven without too much ado, and it comes out as one dish of deliciousness!
I discovered this recipe by sheer luck: one day, I did not have any lemons to add to my salmon dish and I threw in an orange instead. And wow! Out popped a perfect flavor combination. Here I am sharing with you a slightly perfected recipe.
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

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