"An easy dinner for two that won't heat your kitchen up as it cooks very quickly. Easily doubled for 4 if you have a large skillet. Boneless salmon fillets can be substituted for salmon steaks if you hate picking out the bones."

Lennie! Terrific recipe! Hubby was so happy with his birthday dinner. I'm glad I bought an extra piece of salmon so we have leftovers. LOVED the sauce. Wouldn't change a thing. Next time I'll use the juicer though instead of squeezing the oranges by hand! THANX! -
mmmm... yumm yumm yummmm!! I loved this. thank you so much!! I did add the juice of half a lemon to the orange juice to try to give it a lemon kick, but I couldn't taste any. At first I thought the sauce might be a bit too orang-y in flavory but I served it with a lightly spiced couscous, which goes perfect with the orange sauce. also, while cooking, it doesn't make the kitchen smell all fishy. this is a great, quick and healthy recipe that I will make again and again. :D -
Delicious! Fantastic! I was very distracted while I was cooking and didn't even time it (probably cooked way too long!) and it still turned out great!! I did marinate the salmon in some orange juice, teriyaki marinade and soy sauce for a couple hours...but wow - what a great recipe! Thanks! -
This was great, i did add 2 garlic cloves finely minced with the orange, honey and ginger in step one. Fantastic combination of flavours...great blend. Thank you so much -
This recipe was delicious! I am quite a novice cook and this was simple to make and very appreciated by me and my boyfriend. I'm a ginger freak, so in my humble opinion, the amount specified was just right. Thanks!

DH and I love salmon and are always looking for new ways to prepare it. This is very good. Nice orange sauce and not too sweet. I added some garlic and thinly sliced red onion in step 1. I used salmon fillets instead of the steaks and added 1 tsp of cornstarch to sauce when fish was done. For a nice garnish I used some finely minced parsley. Served this with on top of jasmine rice and a green salad on the side.
