ORANGE SALMON
I got this absolutely gorgeous piece of salmon last week and I could not wait to make it. I decided to go as simply route as possible because, like I mentioned, I did not know the time I had to make it. (Turns out, I was allotted 40 minutes, which was enough to cook but barely enough to take pictures.)

This recipe is as simple as mixing the sauce ingredients in a bowl and then baking salmon with it. Easy-peasy and oh-so-tasty!
I did try something new with this recipe. The seafood lady at the store recommended that I tried baking salmon skin up for about 5-7 minutes first and then flipping it and baking it skin down the rest of the way. That’s exactly what I did.

What it does is help the oils and juices run into the salmon meat rather than off onto the baking sheet. It infuses salmon meat with more flavor. To make this experiment a little more conclusive, I will try making it again without the sauce but just some salt and pepper. That way, I will taste only the salmon and not the sauce.
