Salmon is baked in a vinaigrette of balsamic vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and herbs. This is incredibly easy and fast to make. It is also low calorie and low carb.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grainy or Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced shallot
  • 1 small clove garlic, peeled and forced through a press
  • 2 teaspoons each finely chopped parsley, basil and mint
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1-1/4 pounds salmon fillet

Preparation:

Place the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, shallot, garlic, parsley, basil, mint, salt, and pepper in a jar. Close lid and shake well to blend.

Place salmon in a foil-lined pan and spoon a little of the vinaigrette over the fish. Bake in a preheated 450-degree F. oven 12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until cooked through.

Spoon the remaining vinaigrette over each serving of fish.
