Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 pinch garlic salt
• 2 (8 ounce) salmon fillets
• 1 large lemon
• 1 blood orange
• 1 navel orange
• ¼ cup champagne, or more to taste
• 1 pinch fresh dill, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut the lemon, blood orange, and naval orange into halves. Cut 1 half into slices and juice the other half of each.

Step 3

Whisk lemon juice, blood orange juice, and navel orange juice together in a bowl with the brown sugar until dissolved.

Step 4

Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Poke holes into each fillet about 2 inches apart using a fork. Place salmon in a resealable plastic bag and pour juice marinade into bag; coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate salmon in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour.

Step 5

Place salmon, skin-side down, into a baking dish. Drizzle marinade and champagne over salmon and sprinkle with dill. Arrange lemon, blood orange, and navel orange slices over salmon.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes.
