Since you may get it ready in advance up to the final baking process, I like to make this for company. It has an attractive and stunning appearance, and the orange flavor is milder than you may anticipate. When paired with a leafy salad, brown rice, and asparagus, this is a classy, healthful lunch that is also delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 oranges, sliced into rounds
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 5 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- In a small bowl or cup, stir together the lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Place the slices from one of the oranges in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of onion slices over the orange. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the herb mixture.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven, and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the onions are browned and tender. Remove the dish from the oven, and increase the temperature to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Push the onion and orange slices to the outer edge of the baking dish, and place the salmon fillets in the center. Season with the remaining half of the herb mixture. Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the salmon.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the salmon is opaque in the center. Remove fillets to a serving dish, and discard the roasted orange. Garnish fillets with roasted onions and fresh orange slices.

Taste great
Amazing recipe…. I’m making it again 2 days later!
I made this last night, my orange tree supplied the orange juice and slices. Fantastic flavors.
Not a big fan of Oranges, but I decided to give it a go. Turned out amazing. When my son has a second plate, you know its good when that happens
WOW! This salmon was loved by myself AND my “men”. We have three orange trees so they definitely made this meal extra special. I will certainly be making this again. Next time visiting Alaska we will concentrate on getting some salmon rather than halibut. BUT….we LOVE both!
It was good, but I wouldn’t make it again. It just wasn’t any better then the salmon at Costco that is already prepared.
SOOOO FLAVORFUL AND TASTY!
Tasted great and was easy to make.
My entire family loved this dish. We paired it with Sweet Corn and butter and a Hawaiian Roll. Next time I’m going to add extra juices and seasoning for a bolder taste. Plus I think if you thin the fish fillets and bake till slightly crispy it would be even better. The thin pieces tasted the best!
OMG it just melts in your mouth with the orange flavor (and I added lemon) then the contrast of flavors with the onion and the sweet honey glaze it’s also easy to make I’m only 13 and I made my table of five say YUMMM !!!
Didn’t love it. Found it lacking in the orange flavor department
Everyone loved it! I would put oranges/onions on top while cooking it.
I made it last night and loved it! I made a couple of changes — more lemon and fresh garlic vs. powder.
I was expecting a sweeter, more honey like glazing on the fish. It definitely needed salt at the table. the essence of the orange came through bright and clear though, and I’d make it again with modifications.
Great as is with Cara Cara oranges.
Love it
Very good dish, flavourful in taste and not too complicated to make.
Wow! I hate fish, but have been determined to find a good recipe to make me like it & this definitely fits the bill. I hope you have other equally delicious fish recipes because we LOVED this one. I followed the recipe exactly. I don’t know if the orange juice was supposed to be fresh or the bottled kind, but I used fresh & it turned out great. Thank you!
I’m making this for the second time so I can keep the salmon for quinoa salad. The first time, I did 4 salmon steaks & one chicken breast because my husband hates fish. All of us loved this recipe, even on the chicken. The only change I made was removal of the onions and I used fresh parsley & garlic rather than dried & salt, and rather than pre-roasting the oranges, I laid the meat on a bed of orange slices, poured some of the marinade over the meat, then covering of oranges, and then covered the whole shebang with the remaining marinade.
My husband is hard to please but he really liked this recipe. After reading the reviews, I sprinkled the remaining seasonings on both sides of the salmon and let it sit while the oranges and onions roasted. I will definitely make this again.
Awesome. Great flavors and was easy to make.
