Orange Roasted Salmon

I've made this twice and it turns out really well.  It also presents nicely and is a very unique and interesting dish.

1 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

1 Tbsp garlic powder (or 2-3 Tbsp garlic, minced)

2 Tbsp parsley (or about 4 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped)

salt & pepper, to taste

Oranges, thinly sliced

Onions, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups orange juice

1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh is best)

1/4 cup honey

5-7 salmon filets

1. Combine lemon pepper, garlic, salt & pepper and parsley, and set aside.

2.  Arrange orange slices to cover bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish (it's a lot prettier if you can use a glass dish); cover orange slices with onion slices and sprinkle with half of the parsley mixture.  Bake for 40 minutes in a preheated 400°F oven.

3.  Increase temperature to 425°F.  Push orange and onion to sides of dish and place salmon in the middle.  Whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, and honey and pour over salmon.  Sprinkle salmon with remaining half of the parsley mixture.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is opaque in the middle.

4.  The original recipe calls for you to discard the baked orange slices and serve it with fresh orange slices, although they actually taste great and make for an interesting presentation, so I keep the baked ones.  It's as you like it.  There is a lot of yummy sauce left, so this dish would go really well with rice or even some nice bread to soak up some of the sauce after.
