Citrus-Glazed Salmon

 

Ingredients for 8 servings:
1. 2 lbs salmon fillets, skin removed
2. 3/4 cup orange marmalade
3. 2 green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
4. 1 garlic clove, minced
5. 2 teaspoons dry white wine
6. 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
7. 1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
8. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
9. 1/8 teaspoon five-spice powder
10. 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.

Enjoy your meal!
