Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4-6 salmon filets
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
For the Citrus Marinade
  • 4-5 citrus fruits lemon, blood orange, cara cara or navel orange; 1/2 sliced, 1/2 reserved for juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (4 cloves) grated
  • 1/2 tablespoon stone ground mustard

Method
 

Prep
  1. Cut each citrus in half. One half of each citrus will be sliced thinly into rounds. Juice the remaining half for marinade.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  3. Arrange 1⁄2 of the sliced citrus on the prepared baking sheet or dish.
Preparing the Marinade
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, melted butter, chopped parsley, grated garlic, and stone ground mustard.
Preparing The Salmon
  1. Place the salmon filets on top of the citrus and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cover salmon with additional slices of citrus for each filet.
  3. Drizzle the honey citrus mixture over the salmon filets, making sure they are evenly coated.
  4. Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve with additional slices of citrus on top of a bed of fresh steamed vegetables and rice.

Notes

For a sweeter sauce, add more honey. For more zing, increase the mustard. 
Red pepper flaked would be a great addition for some added heat.
