Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by taking your fresh salmon steaks and removing the membrane if present. Check for any pin bones and trim the steaks to your desired shape. For a polished presentation, you can secure them with butcher’s twine to hold their form while cooking.
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly greased with olive oil.
- Gently pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine orange juice, honey, soy sauce, and chili flakes, whisking until blended. Brush this mixture onto the salmon, adding a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary on top of each.
- Carefully place the salmon in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until it turns opaque pink and flakes easily with a fork.
- In a skillet, melt butter and stir in the remaining marinade along with extra rosemary, simmering for 2-3 minutes. For a thicker sauce, mix in flour-water slurry.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with sauce before serving with rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.

Notes
For best texture and flavor, serve the salmon immediately after drizzling with sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
