OVEN-BAKED SALMON WITH ORANGE SAUCE

Ugnsbakad lax med apelsinsås

Serves 4

4 slices salmon fillet, in all

approx 1 lb 5 oz

some salt

butter or margarine

Orange sauce:

3 oranges

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

0.6 cup bouillon

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

1 bay leaf

1 tablespoon runny honey

1½ crushed garlic cloves

1 to 1½ tablespoons Maizena

+ some cold water

Preheat oven to 392F.

Place the skin- and boneless salmon fillets in a greased, oven-proof pan. Sprinkle with some salt. Put a small piece of fat on each slice. Bake the salmon in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.

Squeeze the juice out of the oranges. Sauté the onion until glossy in the fat in a frying pan, without coloring. Add orange juice, bouillon and vinegar, then add bay leaf, salt, honey and garlic. Simmer over low heat, uncovered, for about 10 minutes. Stir the Maizena with some water and beat it into the sauce, which shouldn't be too thin.

Serve with boiled potatoes and vegetables of your choice.

Enjoy!
