Baked Salmon with Orange
Baked salmon with orange is a twenty-five-minute weeknight dinner that pairs citrus acidity with rich fish. Brush the fillets with Firrisa, top with orange slices, and bake at 400°F until the salmon flakes. The oil's citrus backdrop turns the orange into an extension of itself rather than a garnish.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Firrisa
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme or dill
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, then place them skin-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush each fillet generously with Firrisa, then season with salt and pepper.
- Lay orange slices over the top of each fillet, overlapping slightly, and tuck the herb sprigs alongside.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon flakes easily when pressed with a fork and reaches about 125 to 130°F in the center for a moist finish.
- Transfer to plates and finish with a final drizzle of Firrisa before serving.
