Orange Herb Baked Salmon

Every once in awhile, I come across a recipe that I haven’t made for years.  I have more folders and boxes housing my recipes; I am not surprised that some of my favorites get tucked away never to be seen again!  I am glad this recipe surfaced, it is a keeper.  Easy to prepare and one of the best ways I know to cook salmon.
