Instructions:
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Pre-heat the oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). |
2 | Lightly grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking. |
3 | Clean and pat dry the salmon steaks or fillets using paper towels. |
4 | Season both sides of the salmon with salt (skip if using skin-on fillets). |
5 | Arrange the salmon pieces in a single layer in the greased baking dish. |
6 | Using a sharp knife, make deep cuts in the salmon pieces. |
7 | Place small dabs of butter into the cuts and spread a few more bits of butter evenly over the salmon. |
8 | Pour the Tropicana Orange Juice all over the salmon, ensuring each piece is coated. |
9 | Sprinkle ground pepper and oregano evenly over the salmon for added flavor. |
10 | For those who enjoy a hint of sweetness, sprinkle a small amount of sugar over the salmon; it will caramelize beautifully during baking. |
11 | Bake the salmon in the pre-heated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. |
12 | Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your tangy baked salmon with a refreshing orange twist! |
Tips:
- Freshness Matters: Ensure your salmon is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Customize the Tang: Experiment with mixing in lemon juice along with the orange juice for an extra zingy flavor.
- Don’t Overcook: Be cautious not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Adjust Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the salt, pepper, and oregano quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve with Sides: Pair this tangy baked salmon with your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
