Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
• ¼ cup chile pepper-infused olive oil
• 1 (2.5 pound) salmon fillet, or to taste
• 1 cup fresh (no pulp) orange juice, or as needed
• 1 ½ tablespoons togarashi (Japanese red pepper condiment)
• 2 oranges, sliced
• 2 habanero peppers, sliced (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil into the bottom of a casserole dish. Lay salmon fillet atop the oil layer. Pour enough orange juice into the dish so the bottom third of the salmon is immersed in juice.

Step 3

Sprinkle Montreal steak seasoning and togarashi over the top of the fillet. Arrange orange slices and habanero pepper slices atop the fish.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until the flesh is light pink and flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving platter and serve with the sauce from the dish on the side.
