This truly is dinner in a matter of minutes. Baked salmon seasoned beforehand with some orange zest, EVOO, and salt and pepper. Recipe call for 10-15 minutes at 400 which gives you a lot of latiitude in terms of cooking time for fish. I split the difference and roasted for 13 minutes -- next time I will do about 11 minutes. It was not wildly over-cooked and the flavor was there but I like a softer, flakier texture.
While salmon is roasting you have more than enough time to whip up the sauce -- plain yogurt, some orange zest and juice, chopped parsley, and capers plus a little EVOO. Very tasty and marries perfectly with the salmon.
I served with "parsleyed" white rice. Boring...next time I will try it with a couscous/pine nuts/currants side dish. I think it will match up with the fish better and it will be prettier.
