Fresh orange zest and ginger bring a zip and brightness to this salmon dish that you’ll make regularly once you see how simple this can be. Just bake your salmon after covering with this paste and use leftovers for salads the next day!
For every pound of salmon, mix zest of one orange, two tablespoons ginger, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Rub evenly on salmon before baking.
Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.
