So you have a fresh little Salmon sitting
there in front of you and you are wondering what to do with it.
Not the same old baked with a spritz of Lemon again I hope!
This is a super easy recipe that you can crank out in less than an
hour from start to finish and tastes great! The Salmon is given
a quick orange and lemon juice marinade, then a tasty rub is applied
and the fish baked for a few minutes until it is flaky and the juices
run clear. Give it a try, it is a great way to break up the
baked Salmon doldrums. This recipe is geared for the two fillets
from one smallish Salmon.

In a large resealable bag, mix up the Orange Juice and Lemon

Use the Vegetable Oil to lightly oil a shallow baking dish.

Salmon from the Marinade and pat dry. Discard
the Marinade. Rub the spice mix all over the Salmon
and put in your baking dish skin side down!
Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish.
Check every couple of minutes after 10, as it will go from great
to dry before you know it! |
