ORANGE ROASTED SALMON



Orange Roasted Salmon image

I like to make this for company since you can get it ready ahead of time up until the final baking step. It looks both pretty and impressive, and the orange flavor is more subtle than you'd expect. This is a healthy and elegant meal (not to mention delicious) when served with a leafy salad, brown rice, and asparagus.

Tips:

  • Cook the salmon fillets to the right temperature: Salmon is best cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the salmon is cooked through but still moist and flaky.
  • Use fresh herbs and citrus: The fresh herbs and citrus in this recipe add a bright and flavorful touch to the salmon. Be sure to use fresh herbs and citrus for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Overcooked salmon is dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the salmon is hot and flaky.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon fillets with orange basil butter is a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the orange basil butter adds a bright and flavorful touch. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
