  • Total Time: 57 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 (1 pound) salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges

Instructions

  1. Mix orange juice, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ginger together in a small bowl.

  2. Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour all but 3 tablespoons of the orange juice mixture on top. Reserve remaining mixture in the bowl. Let salmon marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  4. Transfer salmon to a baking dish lined with aluminum foil; pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. Spoon 1 tablespoon of reserved orange juice mixture over salmon; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on top.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 6 minutes. Spoon remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice mixture over salmon. Continue baking until flesh flakes easily with a fork, 6 to 9 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.
