   4                    salmon fillet
     1/2                 large lemon -- juice
     1/2                 large orange -- juice
                        salt and pepper
   1      whole         orange -- zest
   2      tablespoons   brown sugar
   1      tablespoon    chili powder
   1      large         garlic clove -- minced
   2      tablespoons   butter -- melted
In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices, salt
and pepper. Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade. Let marinate at
room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and
grease with a little of the melted butter.
In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced
garlic. Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture. Place in the
pan and frizzle with the remaining melted butter. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
The big challenge here is not overcooking the fillets - 8 minutes will do for
think fillets (less than 1 inch) and no more than 12 minutes for the thicker
fillets.
