Method
Whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, and 2 oz fresh5 orange2 juice.
Pat the salmon1 fillet dry, season with black pepper, and place skin-side down in a baking dish.
Brush the glaze over the salmon1 and arrange thin orange2 slices alongside it.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon1 is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Drizzle the pan juices over the salmon1 and serve immediately.
Tips
- Why it works
- Add the orange juice to the glaze so it doesn't get too thick from the honey and ginger while baking. If there's too little, the sauce will be too thick and burn.
- Substitutions
- Replace the ginger with 1 tsp of ground ginger or ½ tsp of dried. You can use 30 ml of store-bought orange juice, but the taste will be less intense.
- Common mistakes
- The fish dries out if you bake it longer than 15 minutes. It turns white and crumbly instead of juicy.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat right away, it doesn't keep. The glaze sets and loses flavor after just 2 hours.
- Serve with
- Serve with basmati rice or mashed potatoes to soften the acidity of the orange.
