Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. finely minced ginger
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 4 (6 oz.) salmon fillets, pin bones removed
  • Sea salt
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. In a bowl whisk orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, olive oil, ginger and cayenne.
  2. Place salmon in baking dish and season each piece with a pinch of salt. Pour half the marinade over salmon and turn to coat well. Cover baking dish and marinade in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. Remove salmon from refrigerator, uncover and add 2 Tbsp. water. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of fillets, until tender and opaque and an instant-read thermometer in the center of a fillet registers 120 degrees F.
  4. While salmon is cooking, combine reserved marinade and mustard in saucepan over medium heat, and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. Pour reduction over fillets.
