- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Zest of 1 orange
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- Pinch of cayenne
- 4 3.5-ounce wild salmon fillets, pinbones removed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or mint
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil, orange zest, lemon zest, ginger, and cayenne. Place the salmon in a baking dish and season each piece with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Pour half of the orange juice mixture over the salmon and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator, uncover, and add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish. Bake just until the fillets are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each fillet registers 137°F; it will take 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Meanwhile, combine the remaining orange juice mixture and the mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Pour the reduction over the fillets, sprinkle with the parsley, and serve immediately.
