Share:
Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets 6 oz each
- salt and black pepper to taste
- green onions for garnish, optional
Orange Marinade
- 1 cup orange juice or pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons less sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger grate
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Set aside 2 tablespoons of marinade for brushing the salmon. Pour the remaining marinade over the salmon and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the salmon, skin side down, in a baking dish or on a parchemnt paper lined rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the salmon fillets for 10-12 minutes. Note that cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Check the salmon early to ensure it doesn't overcook.
- Brush salmon with reserved marinade and move to the top rack of the oven. Broil 1-2 minutes or just until cooked through, do not overcook.
- Garnish with green onions if desired.
Notes
- The shape and thickness of your salmon filet will determine how long it needs to cook. A thicker filet will need longer, while a thinner and flatter filet will need less time.
- Check your salmon early to ensure it doesn't overcook.
- Salmon should be slightly translucent in the center and flake easily with a fork.
- Nutrition information includes 25% of the marinade.
