Orange Salmon image

Oranges and brown sugar make this sweet salmon dish absolutely wonderful !!! I'm a little rough on the quantities, as I tend to add as necessary, but you can do the same. Fortunately, it's about the easiest recipe you'll ever meet.

Time 50m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 salmon fillet
1 orange
brown sugar
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • I like to take a fork and poke a few holes in the fish to let the orange juice soak inches.
  • Then, take half the orange and squeeze over the salmon to cover with juice. Coat generously with brown sugar and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Next, slice remaining orange half into thin slices and put in oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes. Remove orange slices and continue to cook until done to satisfaction, maybe 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove and squeeze orange slices over fillets. Serve and watch the smiles.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. If possible, buy organic produce and sustainably sourced seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the salmon, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: Salmon is a versatile fish that can be cooked to a variety of donenesses. The most popular donenesses are medium-rare, medium, and well-done. Medium-rare salmon will have a slightly pink center, while medium salmon will be cooked through but still moist. Well-done salmon will be cooked all the way through and will be firm to the touch.
  • Don't overcook the orzo: Orzo is a small pasta that can easily be overcooked. Be sure to cook it according to the package directions and taste it as it cooks to make sure it's done to your liking.
  • Add the olives and oranges at the end: The olives and oranges add a bright, fresh flavor to the dish. Be sure to add them at the end of the cooking process so that they don't overcook and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

This recipe for salmon with orzo, oranges, and olives is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the orzo is cooked al dente. The olives and oranges add a bright, fresh flavor to the dish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at the table.
