Citrus-Glazed Salmon

Submitted by MA HIKER

"Another salmon recipe with a nice sweet glaze to liven up the mild taste of the fish. (edited May 2007 to reflect comments on cooking time - was originally 4 to 6 min per half inch)"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 907.18 g salmon fillets, skin removed
• 177.44 ml orange marmalade
• 2 green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 9.85 ml dry white wine
• 4.92 ml fresh ginger, grated
• 4.92 ml dijon-style mustard
• 1.23 ml cayenne pepper
• 0.61 ml five-spice powder
• 44.37 ml sliced almonds, toasted

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degree F.
2. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels.
3. Measure the thickest portion of the fillet.
4. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow baking pan; set aside.
5. In a small bowl stir together marmalade, green onions, garlic, wine, ginger, mustard, cayenne pepper, and five-spice powder. Spoon mixture over salmon.
6. Bake, uncovered, for 6 to 12 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork. (have gotten varied responses on how long this takes, so definitely test it!)
7. Transfer fish and glaze to a serving dish with a lip.
8. Sprinkle with almonds.
9. Serve with steamed asparagus, if desired.

I enjoyed my version of this salmon recipe very much. I omitted the 5 Spice Powder, cayenne, and wine. Instead of the wine, I added chicken broth and extra marmalade.

We eat salmon once a week and this version was delish. The glaze was very good - the sweetness of the marmalade neatly balanced with the mustard and spices. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I'll be making this again.

DH and I really loved this dish. I did have to cook it twice as long (unless you like raw fish) thats the only reason for 4 stars and not 5. The thickest part of my fish was 1/2 inch and it was still raw after 6 minutes. I did not use the sliced almonds, I really don't care for nuts in most dishes. I also skipped the drying of the fish with paper towels. I find it takes away alot of the fish taste. It had a wonderful sweet and spicy taste. I will be making this dish again. Thanks MA HIKER for posting.

Am always on the lookout for new ways to dress up salmon, & this is definitely A WINNER! This is the 1st time I've used five-spice powder, & it'll be in my spice rack from now on, as will this recipe be in my files! I like the orange & mustard combination, & will definitely be making this salmon again & again! Many thanks!
