Salmon with Orange Marmalade



Serves 4

1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1&1/2-pound) salmon fillet
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat over to 400°.

2. Combine first 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Place salmon on rack of a broiler pan lined with foil; sprinkle fish evenly with salt. Spread half of marmalade mixture over fish. Bake at 400° for 18 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove from oven. Spread remaining marmalade mixture evenly over fish.

3. Preheat broiler.

4. Broil fish 3 minutes or until topping browns.

Served with edamame beans and spinach salad with Orange-Sesame Dressing

Orange-Sesame Salad Dressing
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon hot mustard
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1. Combine first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle oils into juice mixture, stirring constantly with a whisk.

Results: The salmon was a bit overcooked, so watch the cooking time. I think 10 minutes would have been plenty. Still, it was very tasty and I would make this again. It was super easy, but make sure you do cover that baking sheet because the marmalade burns. Fake gagging from Steven, but Henry devoured his, and had an extra piece from Chris and me. Chris didn't think the salad dressing was that great. On just the spinach, I agree, but I did have a salad with spinach & chicken for lunch the next day and it tasted much better.
