Orange Salmon

The rich buttery taste mixed with the orange flavor is marvelous!

4-6 pieces of salmon
4-6 t. butter
salt
pepper
garlic powder
1 orange

Spray a 9x13 baking pan with cooking spray. Place salmon in pan and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place 1 t. butter on each piece of salmon. Cut orange in half and squeeze juice on top of salmon. Scrape the remaining pulp out of the orange and divide among salmon pieces. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Baked Lemon and Parsley Salmon

We love salmon and I try to incorporate it in my meal planning once a week for health benefits. This is one of several ways we like it. The slight hint of lemon makes this salmon dish fabulous!

1 t. garlic powder
6 T. olive oil
1 t. salt
1 t. black pepper
1 T. lemon juice
1 T. fresh parsley, chopped or 2 t. dried parsley
1 (1 1/2-2 lb.) salmon fillet or 6 salmon pieces

Place salmon fillet in glass baking dish or a Ziploc bag. Mix all the ingredients together and pour over fillet. Cover with plastic wrap {if using baking dish}. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.

Place fillet (skin side down if not skinned) in aluminum foil, cover with marinade and seal. Place on baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.
