Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 salmon fillets with skin (about 5 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
1-1/2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Cooking spray
1 medium lemon, quartered (optional)
1. Set the orange zest aside in a small bowl.
2. In a large shallow glass dish, stir together the orange juice and lemon juice. Add the fish, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, stir the brown sugar, paprika, curry powder, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne into the orange zest. Set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.
5. Drain the fish, discarding the marinade. Arrange the fillets with the skin side down on the baking sheet. Rub the brown sugar mixture over the flesh side of the fish.
6. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to the desired doneness.
7. Using a metal spatula, lift the fish out of the skin. Transfer to plates. Serve with the lemon wedges.
Cook’s Tip: Marinate the salmon for only 30 minutes so the texture will remain firm.
