Ancho Citrus Baked Salmon is a simple, easy, low fat, vitamin packed, deliciously tasty recipe! This ancho citrus marinade is an ideal sauce to use for salmon!

Ingredients :
  • 4 salmon filets , or one large cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 4 teaspoons ancho chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
  • Cooking Spray
Directions :

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a vented broiler pan with cooking spray. Rinse salmon fillets and place on broiler pan. Using a vented broiler pan cooks the fish evenly and quicker because the heat is circulating around the entire fillet.

  2. Combine lemon juice through orange juice concentrate in a small sauce pan and heat over medium heat until combined. Lower heat to keep warm.

  3. Baste salmon fillets with glaze and place in the oven for 5 minutes.

  4. Remove and baste again. Cook for an additional 5 minutes

  5. Baste and cook for an additional 5 minutes. It will be a total of 15 minutes in the oven. Fish should flake easily with a fork. Do not serve salmon (unless sushi grade) under medium. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of the fillet. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes before serving.

  6. Drizzle more glaze over fillets or serve with a small dipping container on the side. Enjoy!
