Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil, ⅓ teaspoon freshly ground mixed pepper, and a pinch of salt to taste.
Pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides generously with the marinade.
Place the salmon in a baking dish. Sprinkle the orange zest evenly over the top for a bright, citrusy flavor. For extra aroma, arrange orange slices and rosemary sprigs around the salmon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your liking.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with homemade tartar sauce (recipe below, 1-2 tablespoons per portion). Serve immediately to savor the incredible flavors!
