Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F).
Make the marinade by mixing 1 tablespoon olive oil, 0.33 teaspoon freshly ground mixed pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Pat the salmon steaks dry and brush both sides generously with the marinade.
Place the salmon in a baking dish, sprinkle orange zest over the top, and arrange orange slices and rosemary sprigs around the salmon for aroma.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and remains juicy.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with homemade tartar sauce (about 1–2 tablespoons per portion). Serve immediately.
