Marmalade Glazed Salmon

5 from 1 vote
Marmalade-glazed salmon is tender and flaky, with a glossy glaze added halfway through roasting for perfect caramelization without burning. A simple, foolproof method for bold flavor and beautiful results.

Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • parchment paper or foil

Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 lb side of salmon
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup marmalade, or more as needed to cover your salmon
  • orange slices

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lining the pan is important because glaze that drips from the fish can scorch and stick to the pan.
  • Place your side of salmon on the lined baking sheet. Tuck the thin tail end under if necessary to fit. Rub generously with olive oil and season with flaky sea salt (I love Maldon.)
  • Slide the pan into the oven (make sure it's up to temp first) and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon from the oven and brush or spoon a layer of marmalade over the entire surface. Top with thin slices of orange. Note: depending on the size of your fish you may need more than 1/4 cup of marmalade.
  • Return the fish to the oven to finish baking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve immediately with side dishes of your choice. I love to use green veggies like asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, or peas.
