Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Put potatoes, shallots, and kumquats on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat well.
  4. Spread the mixture out evenly on the baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Meanwhile, make the marinade.
  6. Combine in a shallow bowl the olive oil, honey, garlic, half of the orange zest, 2 tablespoons of the orange juice, and the salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  7. Put the salmon in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish. Turn it to coat it completely. Leave on the counter, covered, to let the flavors blend.
  8. When the potatoes are fork tender, take the baking sheet out of the oven.
  9. Give the potato mixture a stir, then make room to add the salmon between the potatoes.
  10. Pour any remaining marinade over the salmon.
  11. Top with fresh thyme sprigs.
  12. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees F.
  13. Bake salmon to your preferred level of doneness—8 to 12 minutes, depending on how thick your filets are.
  14. Optional: broil the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking
  15. Garnish with orange zest and a sprinkling of thyme and orange juice.
