I like to make this for company since you can get it ready ahead of time up until the final baking step. It looks both pretty and impressive, and the orange flavor is more subtle than youd expect. This is a healthy and elegant meal (not to mention delicious) when served with a leafy salad, brown rice, and asparagus.
Orange Roasted Salmon Ingredients
2 oranges, sliced into rounds
1 onion, thinly sliced
1? tablespoons olive oil
5 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1? teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
cup orange juice
1? tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey
How to Make Orange Roasted Salmon
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small bowl or cup, stir together the lemon pepper, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Place the slices from one of the oranges in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a layer of onion slices over the orange. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with half of the herb mixture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven, and roast for about 25 minutes, or until the onions are browned and tender. Remove the dish from the oven, and increase the temperature to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Push the onion and orange slices to the outer edge of the baking dish, and place the salmon fillets in the center. Season with the remaining half of the herb mixture. Whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the salmon.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the salmon is opaque in the center. Remove fillets to a serving dish, and discard the roasted orange. Garnish fillets with roasted onions and fresh orange slices.

Orange Roasted Salmon Reviews
I really enjoyed this recipe. Its a different taste for salmon, sweet and citrus. I would recommend trying this, my family really enjoyed it.
Good Needs a little tweaking though... It seems like it was missing something, like it needed more lemon, some garlic or some salt... I made this by following the directions step by step, but I think that the next time I make this, I will try adding the second half of the spices to the orange juice mixture instead of sprinkling it over the salmon, adding more lemon juice, lemon pepper and some fresh garlic.
This recipe was quite tasty. Even the family, who are not usually thrilled when they see its salmon for dinner, liked it. We dont care for the taste of lemon pepper, so I didnt use it, and I also didnt have any parsley. I used lime juice instead of lemon. Since I had less salmon than the recipe called for I cut the juice/honey mixture in half. I wont do this next time so that I have plenty of liquid to baste the fish with while its cooking. Thanks for an easy, tasty way to prepare salmon
This was great Not only was it easy to prepare, it looked very nice. The only things I changed were that I just used regular black pepper and omitted the honey...but I did not miss it at all. I tried this using chicken too and it was just as good. This and some steamed veggies were all I needed for a nice meal. Thumbs up
Overall a good recipe. I agree with another review that the orange juice at the end effectively wipes the spices on top off of the salmon, and the underside of the salmon was a little overpowering while the top was a little bland. I prefer lemons over orange slices, a little to sweet with the salmon. Easy to make though, and great presentation without much effort.
We multiplied this recipe and served it to our holiday crowd where it drew RAVE reviews Thank you
Absolutely awesome. Chose this recipe becaues of the few ingredients it required. Sooooo easy but sooooo good, and nice and light. Great summer dish All I really needed to buy was the salmon, most everything else we already had at home.
Orange flavor overpowers all others.
I dont understand the purpose of roasting the orange/onion slices, other than it made a pretty topping afterwards, but the salmon was delicious. I did alter the order of step 4s directions, pouring the juice mixture first *then* sprinkling the herb mix over it (otherwise the juice would have washed off the herbs). I also heated the honey before whisking it, making it much easier to whisk into the juices. Excellent, delicious, and simple
WOW This is one of the easy type receipes everyone loves to have. IT is wonderful and will keep it in my make often folders. I followed it to a tee.... WONDERFUL beyone words Thank you so much for this one...
This is an excelent way to prepare salmon. I used frozen orange juice and would suggest if you use this to cut down to 1/4 cup juice and 1/4 cup water, otherwise the orange seemed to overpower the salmon. I also use a lemon and herb seasoning instead of lemon pepper. The last thing I did was to skin the salmon, this prevents the "fishy" or oily taste.This will become one of my standbys and go in the perfer section of my recipe box.
Bravo KBURIE This was so delicious I served this to my in-laws (tough crowd) and they loved it. My sister-in-law loved it and she doesnt like fish. Since I had more time in the morning than I would have in the evening I put the salmon and its share of seasonings and juices in a zip lock and let it marinate all day. Not sure if it helped but it sure was a tasty dish Thanks again This is going in my recipe box
Very easy to make, the kids loved it. Very mild hint of orange but mostly just great flavor Try it The roasting time of the oranges slices and onions gave me time to finish the side dishes and then the salmon took about 17 min. It was perfect
I think if you like salmon you will like this recipe. To me it is a girls recipe. I only gave it 3 stars because my husband wasnt fussed. I quite liked it.
Wow. All I can say is wow. Great recipe... the sauce is perfection.
Fantastic recipe and has a great presentation if you care to place the orange slices and onions on top. The glaze for the salmon is delicious. Thanks for sharing I think this would also be great with chicken breasts. I served this with Swansons recipe for orange-chicken-broth rice and lemon-butter broccoli. Totally amazing meal.
This was easy and impressive I left out the lemon juice and used only maybe a tsp of honey because mine had dried out. I would make this for guests.
Tried this last night. Made enough for two, using one large salmon fillet - so I cut the other ingredients in half. Sprinkled the herbs after pouring the liquid mixture, as others have noted. We love salmon anyway, and this recipe did not overpower with the orange flavor - merely a hint. The onions were very good and seemed to have absorbed more of the orange/citrus flavor. Served with roasted brussells sprouts which did require a little creative juggling of oven temperatures & timing, but it all worked out nicely
This recipe was fabulous Everyone at the table loved it, I will definitely be making this again
This is absolutely delicious. Like a fancy restaurant would serve. Easy to prepare. My husband was impressed with it.
This recipe was easy to prepare. I followed the directions as written. It was necessary to add time to both the roasting of the onions and the baking of the salmon. The salmon was fabulous. The onions were really good. Thank you KBURIE.
As a retired male now taking over the cooking for my wife who is still working, I want to give this recipe a 5 star rating. It is easy, tastes great, fast to make and the family loves it.
So after reading all the reviews and reading through the recipe I decided it probably needed an extra punch. So I added 2 cloves of roasted garlic, minced, to the herb mixture and used fresh parsley instead of dry. I also added the zest of an orange and lemon to the herb mixture. My dad cant handle onions so I used shallots, which have a more mild flavor than onions but they were delicious having absorbed a lot of the orange and lemon juices. Also, to the orange, lemon and honey mixture i added a splash of grand marnier. Garnished with fresh fruit slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. We ate the whole thing It was very light and fragrant and looked amazing I gave it 4 stars because I tweaked it a bit. But i would definitely recommend trying this recipe happy cooking
I thoght this was pretty bland. Somewhat of a disappointment.
Delicious The only thing I would change is to pour the orange juice mixture over the salmon before sprinkling with the herbs. It washed them off in some places, and I like them more even.
My husband was surprised to find out that he liked this. I loved that it was so simple to put together, and that it made for a nice Sunday dinner, but could easily be made on a busy weeknight. I omitted the lemon pepper since I never have it and just used fresh cracked pepper. Wonderful served with brown rice and green beans. I would serve this to company that I need to impress
We enjoyed the blend of onion, lemon, orange, and honey. Nothing overpowered, rather the flavors melded wonderfully and complimented the salmon. I used navel oranges, Vidalia onion, and Safflower oil instead of olive oil, and fresh ground pepper in place of the lemon pepper. I might use fresh minced garlic next time. Fantastic recipe. Thank you
I didnt have honey on hand. So, instead of the honey/orange juice sauce you recommended, I spread a layer of orange marmalade over the salmon during the final 5 minutes in the oven and left it 10 more minutes until the marmalade browned a bit. It was delicious Served it with yellow rice.
My DH made this for dinner last night and it was just ok. The flavour was very delicate and we both found that it could have used a punch of flavour (all we could really taste was the lemon pepper). The recipe method says to sprinkle the salmon with more lemon pepper and then pour orange juice and honey over top...well this effectively washes the vast majority of the flavour off the salmon. I dont know if its important to note that we did not serve the salmon with fresh oranges. I may try this again at some point, but alter the recipe slightly to add in some flavour.
We thought this recipe is great and make it all the time. wonderful flavor combinations thanks for this recipe.
This was good. My husband really liked it. I didnt think it was anything too special. Did not serve with fresh orange slices.
This was okay but I have had better. I thought it tasted better the next day but the kids did not like it at all. I did follow the directions exactly.
My family loves this recipe. I have made it many times now. Having a big family, I use a large 1/2 salmon fillet. As others have said, I pour the juices on first before sprinkling herb mixture so it wont wash off. I almost enjoy eating the onions more than the salmon. So delicious On occasion I have used clementines when I was out of oranges - they worked perfectly. I serve it with rice topped with roasted slice almonds and steamed broccoli with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Yummy
Not as good as people said it would be. We must have either done something wrong with the recipe, or it might not be to our taste. I wouldnt recommend it.
Very easy to make -- a real hit with my family.
Everyone loved it I would put oranges/onions on top while cooking it.
Tasted great and was easy to make.
SOOOO FLAVORFUL AND TASTY
I was expecting a sweeter, more honey like glazing on the fish. It definitely needed salt at the table. the essence of the orange came through bright and clear though, and Id make it again with modifications.
Citrus, summer flavor
Not a big fan of Oranges, but I decided to give it a go.Turned out amazing. When my son has a second plate, you know its good when that happens
Love it
I made it last night and loved it I made a couple of changes -- more lemon and fresh garlic vs. powder.
Very good dish, flavourful in taste and not too complicated to make.
OMG it just melts in your mouth with the orange flavor (and I added lemon) then the contrast of flavors with the onion and the sweet honey glaze its also easy to make Im only 13 and I made my table of five say YUMMM
Didnt love it. Found it lacking in the orange flavor department
My husband is hard to please but he really liked this recipe. After reading the reviews, I sprinkled the remaining seasonings on both sides of the salmon and let it sit while the oranges and onions roasted. I will definitely make this again.
I have been looking for some healty recipes, that doesn t take much time to make and they are delicious. I found all of this on this recipe.The combination between the salmon and the orange I found it really interesting but when I did it I used half of the amount of oranges that it says on the recipe because I didn t wanted the orange to dominate on the dish. Beside that I recommend this dish if you want something healthy,delicious and easy to make.
Awesome. Great flavors and was easy to make.
I made this last night, my orange tree supplied the orange juice and slices.Fantastic flavors.
It was good, but I wouldnt make it again. It just wasnt any better then the salmon at Costco that is already prepared.
Wow I hate fish, but have been determined to find a good recipe to make me like it & this definitely fits the bill. I hope you have other equally delicious fish recipes because we LOVED this one. I followed the recipe exactly. I dont know if the orange juice was supposed to be fresh or the bottled kind, but I used fresh & it turned out great. Thank you
My entire family loved this dish. We paired it with Sweet Corn and butter and a Hawaiian Roll. Next time Im going to add extra juices and seasoning for a bolder taste. Plus I think if you thin the fish fillets and bake till slightly crispy it would be even better. The thin pieces tasted the best
WOW This salmon was loved by myself AND my "men". We have three orange trees so they definitely made this meal extra special. I will certainly be making this again. Next time visiting Alaska we will concentrate on getting some salmon rather than halibut. BUT....we LOVE both
Amazing recipe.... Im making it again 2 days later
Delicious I only used 2 salmon filets, cooked in a smaller dish, but still did the same amount of seasonings and sauce, and it was amazing A new favorite Yum...
Great as is with Cara Cara oranges.
Im making this for the second time so I can keep the salmon for quinoa salad. The first time, I did 4 salmon steaks & one chicken breast because my husband hates fish. All of us loved this recipe, even on the chicken. The only change I made was removal of the onions and I used fresh parsley & garlic rather than dried & salt, and rather than pre-roasting the oranges, I laid the meat on a bed of orange slices, poured some of the marinade over the meat, then covering of oranges, and then covered the whole shebang with the remaining marinade.
