This is a lil something that really tickles the senses, very unique.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices, salt and pepper.
  2. 2
    Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade.
  3. 3
    Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.
  4. 4
    Preheat the oven to 425F.
  5. 5
    Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and grease with a little of the melted butter.
  6. 6
    In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced garlic.
  7. 7
    Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture.
  8. 8
    Place in the pan and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
  9. 9
    Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
  10. 10
    The big challenge here is not overcooking the fillets- 8 minutes will do for thin fillets (less than 1 inch) and no more than 12 minutes for the thicker fillets.

Very EASY! I whipped everything together without reading through and mixed EVERYTHING together and let the fillets marinate for 20 min. Re-reading I realized I was supposed to separate the juices and the rub.. It was still amazing, and I added some extra brown sugar applied as a rub prior to setting it in the oven for good measure.. I am awful at cooking fish but my entire family of 5 loved it! thanks so much!

    This recipe was give to us by a friend and for a long time it was the only way we made salmon! We have found that if you don't have orange zest, a little orange juice goes a long way. Thanks!

    It's taken me a while to review this but it's the only way I make salmon now! I use a little less chili powder but everything else is just delicious! The flavor of the rub offsets the fishiness of salmon. Thanks!
