Citrus-Glazed Salmon

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: 30 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  lbs salmon fillets, skin removed
• 3⁄4 cup orange marmalade
• 2  green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 2  teaspoons dry white wine
• 1  teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1  teaspoon dijon-style mustard
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄8 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 3  tablespoons  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.
