Easy 3-Ingredient Orange Herbes de Provence Baked Salmon Recipe Is Refreshingly Moist Seafood Dinner

When you think of salmon recipes, you may automatically think of lemon. I know I do! After all, lemon and salmon go together almost as well as peas and carrots.

Baking the salmon in this refreshing orange herbes de provence sauce results in moist, flavorful fish that you’ll want to enjoy any day of the week.

This healthy, delicious seafood dinner is ready to serve from the oven in about 30 minutes. Enjoy this easy baked salmon recipe with your favorite vegetables and side dishes (I served it with a baked potato, broccoli and carrots).

Ingredients

• 1 pound (16 ounces) fresh salmon filet
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon herbes de provence seasoning (or your favorite seasoning)

Helpful Products

• Mixing Bowl
• Baking Dish
• Salt and Pepper
• Herbes de Provence Seasoning
• Aluminum Foil
• Baster

Recipe Notes

• If you don't have herbes de provence seasoning, you can make your own French seasoning blend by using a mixture of thyme, savory, rosemary, basil, tarragon and lavender flowers. You also could use a Mediterranean or Italian seasoning blend.

• Squeeze your own orange juice from fresh oranges. Fresh is always best!

Here’s how to make it:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice and herbes de provence seasoning. Place salmon filet into a baking dish lined with aluminum foil, with enough extra on each side to cover the fish once it's in the baking pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if desired. Pour the orange sauce over the salmon. Cover the fish with the extra aluminum foil.
2. Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and baste with the sauce. Return baking dish to oven, leaving the fish uncovered. Bake for 5 more minutes, or until desired doneness.
