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.

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.
