I made Salmon with Orange and Lemon one busy weeknight. I had my oldest prepare the salmon to marinate one afternoon so I could prepare it when I got home from work. All she had to do was sit the salmon in orange and lemon juice along with honey, olive oil and soy sauce. We had a bit of confusion with the soy sauce and she used teriyaki instead. It was still good, so no worries there. The fish then broils in the oven and you serve it with the cooked sauce over it. We served it with brown rice. It was delicious and everything got eaten!
