Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the salmon in a baking dish, skin side down, and season the top with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Finely zest one of the oranges onto the salmon, then squeeze its juice into a small skillet along with the juice of half of the other orange. Bring to a boil over high and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then whisk in the honey. Drizzle half of the glaze on the salmon; reserve the remaining.
- Step 3
Thinly slice the remaining orange half into circles and lay on the salmon in an even layer. Bake until salmon is just cooked through and slightly flaky, about 20 minutes.
- Step 4
In a medium bowl, toss the salad greens with the reserved glaze and the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the salmon.

I made this last night with individual salmon filets and reduced the cooking time by 5min. Used the whole recipe for the glaze on @ 1.4 lb of fish and will definitely double it next time. There will be a next time; this was one of the easiest and yummiest salmon recipes I've tried.
I came across this looking for a pantry dish. I forgot the honey and didn't have any greens, but the glaze was still tasty on broccoli. Would probably be great to roast brussels sprouts with, too. This is a great start -- I'll add red pepper flakes and remember the honey next time.
This looks great but if you don’t have honey, a balsamic reduction with orange is a worthy alternative.
made it exactly as the recipe called for. My wife and I both felt like it was a 3 and 1/2 out of five stars. I'm going to double the amount of squeezed orange juice next time. I don't think it needs more zest than what the recipe calls for. also, oddly enough, using a high quality olive oil seem to take away from the orange glaze flavor. probably best to use a milder olive oil. but still tasted great and will definitely make again as it was so simple and so fast. a lot of recipes that say they are 30 minutes are an hour, but this one really was 30 minutes.
As I’m working on boosting my protein and don’t always want to make eggs on the morning I’ve taken to roasting salmon. This recipe is so fast and easy and so flavorful and fragrant! I was a hard line searer of salmon but I am SOLD on the low roast!! deLISH!!!
It was ok. Not a big salmon fan (unless smoked) but my wife liked it. Pretty much followed the directions but 20 minutes @ 320 degrees isn't enough to get it to flake. I upped it to 350 and added about 7 minutes; then it was more flakey.
