How to Make Baked Salmon With Orange Juice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Clean and pat dry 1.5 lbs salmon fillets or steaks.
  4. Season both sides of the salmon with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Place salmon pieces in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  6. Make 2-3 deep cuts in each salmon fillet. Dab 1 tablespoon of butter into the cuts and an additional 1 tablespoon over the top of the salmon.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup Tropicana orange juice (or other brand) evenly over the fish.
  8. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional, for a hint of caramelization).
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
