Ingredients:

• Salmon steaks – 2 pcs
• Orange juice – ½ pc
• Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
• Honey – 1 tsp
• Hot chili flakes – ½ tsp
• Rosemary – 2 sprigs
• Orange slices – 4 pcs
• Lemon slices – 2-3 pcs

Ingredients for the sauce:

• Butter – 20 gr
• Rosemary – a pinch
• Orange pulp – 1 pc
• Salt – ½ tsp
• Sugar – 1 tsp
• Chili flakes – ½ tsp
• Starch – 1 tsp + 100 ml of cold water.

Method of preparation:

1. Wash and dry the salmon steaks with a paper towel. Cut out the middle part with bones.

2. Cut the skin on one side up to halfway and wrap it in a snail. Tie it with a thread.

3. Prepare the marinade: mix soy sauce, honey, juice of half an orange, and chili flakes.

4. Using a rosemary branch as a brush, brush the marinade over the fish, which is placed on a baking sheet.

5. Put the rosemary branches on the fish and cover the fish with two slices of orange. Put all the remaining slices side by side.

6. Put the fish in the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes. At the end of cooking, remove the orange from the fish so that it becomes crusty.

7. Prepare the sauce: melt the butter, add the orange pulp, and mix until smooth.

8. Add salt, sugar, chili, and rosemary and cook for 3 minutes. Add the diluted starch and stir until slightly thickened.

9. Put the sauce on a plate and fish on top and serve.
