Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 individual (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin on or off)
- 0.25 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven to high heat and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure the glaze adheres well.
Generously brush the marmalade Dijon glaze over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, using all of the mixture.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature of the thickest part of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side to squeeze over the salmon for added brightness.
Enjoy your Broiled Salmon with Marmalade Dijon Glaze with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
