Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon or cod)
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 0.25 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the fish fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon half of the marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is well-coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.

Step 5

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

While the fish is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the fish is done baking, transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the fish.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
