Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 -3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 medium onion, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, tightly packed
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2 lbs salmon fillets, with skin on
• wedges fresh lemon

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 450 degrees f.
• 2 in a small bowl, stir together the orange juice concentrate, garlic, onion, thyme, olive oil, salt and pepper.
• 3 rinse and dry the salmon. use olive oil to oil a large shallow pan large enough to hold the fish (a half-sheet pan works well). place the fish skin side up. make 4 very shallow parallel slashes through the skin. slather both sides with the orange juice mixture, turning the salmon skin side up before putting it in the oven.
• 4 roast for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is only slightly darker at its center than near the surface when you cut into it with a knife — it should not look raw at its center; it should look almost cooked through. remove from the oven. let rest for 10 to 15 minutes so the salmon can finish cooking and it's juices can settle.
• 5 cut the fish into serving-size pieces and arrange them on a platter or individual dinner plates. garnish with lemon wedges. everyone finishes seasoning the dish with the lemon at the table. serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
