THE BEST MARINATED SALMON (OR STEELHEAD TROUT) WITH MAPLE WALNUT
So I thought I was following another recipe, doing it from memory (and obviously my memory failed me) and voila - a new recipe was created! Good mistake this time! SO wonderful. If you like to hide the fishy taste of salmon/steelhead then this recipe is definitely for you! If you prefer yours more natural tasting, I recommend decreasing the marinating time to only 2 hours. Prep time listed does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Place fish filet in a gallon resealable plastic bag.
- Wisk together the OJ, soy sauce, honey and syrup.
- Pour marinade over the fish, seal the bag, place it in a container (in case the bag has a small leak - you never know) and put it in the fridge to marinate.
- I like mine VERY marinated, so I let mine marinate for 6 hours. 4 hours is probably a great starting point for the first time you make this recipe and then go up or down from there in the future based upon your taste buds.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- NOTE: If you fish has skin, then do not grease the foil. If your fish has had the skin removed, you MUST grease your foil.
- Cut filet into 4-6 pieces (depending on the size of your filet), place fish on the baking sheet with the smaller pieces (such as the tail part) in the middle - and putting skin side down on the foil. Discard the marinade.
- Cook fish at 350 degrees (uncovered) for approximately 20-30 minutes depending on how you prefer your fish cooked (20 minutes will be more medium while 30 minutes will be pretty well done).
- About 5 minutes before the fish is done, you can warm up the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat just until the sugar is melted - then turn the heat to low.
- Remove the fish from the oven, then remove each filet from the foil with a spatula (leaving the skin stuck to the foil), plate up the fish and pour the sauce over the top.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Prepare a baking or roasting pan by lining it with foil and brushing it with olive oil.
- Preheat broiler.
- Mix together all remaining ingredients except fish into a well-blended paste.
- Place fish skin-side down (if it has skin) on baking sheet, then spread seasoning over flesh.
- Broil fish at second rack away from heat for 5 minutes or less, just enough to sear flesh but not burn herbs.
- Lower fish to 3rd or 4th rack and lower oven heat to 325°F Bake for 10 additional minutes, or until fish is cooked through in the thickest portion.
- Serve with steamed vegetables, salad, orzo salad, whatever.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Prepare all ingredients and utensils before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process.
- Choose the Right Fish: Select fresh, high-quality steelhead trout or salmon with bright eyes, firm flesh, and a clean, briny smell.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the fish in to ensure even cooking.
- Seasoning is Key: Generously season the fish with salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to enhance its flavor.
- Cook to Perfection: Bake the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooking can dry out the fish, so keep an eye on it during the baking process.
- Make a Flavorful Apricot Salsa: Combine diced apricots, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a touch of honey to create a vibrant and tangy salsa that complements the fish perfectly.
- Garnish Elegantly: Garnish the baked fish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil for an appealing presentation.
