Tender salmon fillets are braised to perfection in a mouthwatering sauce of fresh orange juice, chili-infused olive oil, and seasonings, making this a favorite dish with a 'kick.' Serve over a bed of rice and a side of steamed spinach for a super healthy and easy meal. The sauce is perfect to drizzle over the top.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

¼ cup chile pepper-infused olive oil
1 (2.5 pound) salmon fillet, or to taste
1 cup fresh (no pulp) orange juice, or as needed
2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
1 ½ tablespoons togarashi (Japanese red pepper condiment)
2 oranges, sliced
2 habanero peppers, sliced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of a casserole dish. Lay salmon fillet atop the oil layer. Pour enough orange juice into the dish so the bottom third of the salmon is immersed in juice.
Sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning and togarashi over the top of the fillet. Arrange orange slices and habanero pepper slices atop the fish.
Bake in preheated oven until the flesh is light pink and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving platter and serve with the sauce from the dish on the side.
