1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the sheet.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until fully combined.
3. Step 3: Brush the orange-ginger glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
