Ingredients
- 12 oz wild-caught salmon filet skin-on
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp local honey
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 1 medium garlic clove peeled and chopped
- 1 piece fresh ginger root about 1" size, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- *optional: orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Place all ingredients for the sauce in a mini food processor, or blender, and blend until smooth.
- Place salmon, skin side down, in a cast-iron skillet or baking dish seasoned with a little olive oil. Pour sauce over the fish, using a pastry brush to coat the top. Top with a few orange slices, if desired.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of your filet. Baste fish with sauce every 5 minutes or so and remove from the oven when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 135-140 degrees F.
