Ingredients

How to make it

  • For Salmon:
  • Preheat oven to 300°F
  • Place Salmon, skin side down on ungreased baking sheet
  • Brush top with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes (or until flesh in thickest part appears just set, Salmon will continue to cook while standing-separate flesh with tip of paring knife to check)
  • For Sauce:
  • While Salmon bakes, cut tomatoes in half crosswise
  • Squeeze out seeds and discard
  • Set box grater in medium bowl
  • Holding hand flat, rub cut side of each tomato half over coarse side of grater until only skin remains; discard skins
  • In large skillet, over medium heat, heat oil; add garlic and stir until fragrant and just beginning to color, about 30 seconds
  • Add tomatoes and simmer until most of watery portion has evaporated, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • Grate 1 tsp. orange rind and squeeze 3 Tbsp. juice from orange
  • Combine orange rind and juice with cornstarch, stirring until cornstarch is dissolved
  • Add mixture to tomato sauce along with basil, stir briefly until sauce has returned to simmer
  • Use metal spatula to remove portions of Salmon, leaving skin behind
  • **Serve with sauce spooned on top**
  • **In a skillet, sautee greenbeans, over medium heat, in olive oil for a couple minutes, add minced garlic and season with salt. Sautee for another couple of minutes or until the greenbeans are crisp-tender. Remove from pan and season again lightly with salt and add fresh ground black pepper to taste**
  • Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Loved the idea of using fresh ingredients, but the flavors didn’t come together as I’d hoped. I ended up making adjustments to the sauce to bring out the orange flavor. I liked the combination of orange and basil. The lightly flavored sauce seems more suited for a mild white fish and really didn't do anything for us with salmon. See more in IMI.
