directions

  • Mix together orange zest, orange juice, oil, tarragon, ginger, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag.
  • Add fish to bag, seal, and shake bag gently to coat.
  • Let marinate 3-4 hours-but no longer as your fish may start to toughen up if overmarinated.
  • Preheat oven to 450 F and bake fish in a casserole dish 8-12 minutes or until it has just started to flake easily with a fork.

  1. Super easy and tasty. In southern CA - with family fruit trees - we always have an over abundance of the oranges so I was looking for a way to use them. This recipe for salmon was great! My husband enjoyed the light dinner - I think I may trot it out for company in the future! I did add a tablespoon of minced garlic and a dollop of mustard to the marinade for a bit more texture. All in all - it was great. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. It was easy to make, however it just didn't have as much flavor as I expected. In retrospect, the tarragon was a bit out of place for me with the citrus; maybe I'd have preferred garlic. I didn't do this, but it might have had more "punch" if I'd taken the remaining marinade and reduced it and poured it over the salmon after baking.
     
  3. Light, flavorful and excellent. Fresh tarragon shines in this recipe. Also, the quality of the oranges used makes a difference too - the sweeter and juicier the better. Thanks for a lovely recipe.
     
  4. This is just delicious, my absolute favourite way to have salmon is baked like this in the oven, it is so moist and the flavours are wonderful using the tarragon. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.
     
  5. This is a yummy, mild way of preparing salmon. My whole family enjoyed it.
