Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and place them into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5
Pour the ginger and orange sauce evenly over the salmon fillets in the baking dish.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
