Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then rub it with a little olive oil and sprinkle on the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
4 salmon fillets, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Pop the salmon onto your baking sheet and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While that’s in the oven, grab a small saucepan and whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard over medium heat.
¼ cup fresh orange juice, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Stir together your cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until it’s totally smooth—no lumps.
½ teaspoon cornstarch
Once it starts to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry and let it cook for another minute or two until the glaze thickens just a bit.
Brush that warm citrus glaze all over your baked salmon and serve it up right away.
