Image and Recipe Copyright © 2003-2008 Jennifer Iserloh

Orange and balsamic make a sweet and sour combo that is perfect with salmon. If you have a sensitive nose but still want to enjoy the health benefits of eating fish, citrus is always a good way to cut the strong sent of salmon.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 6-ounce salmon filets
1 large orange, thinly sliced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a 9×12-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Place both filets of salmon in the dish, so they are not touching. Sprinkle each filet with salt and pepper, and layer the top with 3-4 slices of orange per filet.

Drizzle balsamic and olive oil on top. Bake 15-20 min, checking occasionally throughout cooking. Add a little water or more vinegar if the balsamic becomes too dark or begins to burn. Serve immediately.
