Description

A simple orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and ginger mixture are all it takes to transform roasted salmon into a gourmet extravaganza for any dinner party.

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
2 pounds salmon fillet
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a medium baking dish with parchment paper.
2 Place orange juice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until thickened and reduced by about half, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3 Stir balsamic vinegar and ginger into cooled orange juice.
4 Place salmon fillet skin-side down in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with 1/2 of the orange juice mixture.
5 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Brush with remaining orange juice mixture and continue baking until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
