  • 10 tablespoons Tropicana Orange Juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground pepper, to taste
  • Oregano, to taste
  • Sugar, optional, for a caramelized touch

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.
