Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Step 4
Sprinkle the salmon fillets evenly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper, pressing gently so the pepper adheres.
Step 5
Brush the prepared orange marmalade glaze generously over the top of the salmon fillets, coating each piece evenly.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil over and around the fillets to help keep them moist during cooking.
Step 7
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For extra caramelization, you can broil the salmon on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to plates and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 9
Serve warm alongside your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad. Enjoy!
