My mother-in-law knows how to make salmon more ways than anyone I know. Her second husband would eat only salmon, and maybe a piece of chicken every once in awhile. Indeed, she ate it so often that when she’d come for a solo visit to our house, all she wanted to eat was a burger!

Salmon is one of the healthier fish options, and sometimes I find it on sale for a pretty reasonable price. The best part about fish is that it really doesn’t need much time in a marinade, so while the fish is soaking up flavors, you can start a side dish and make a salad.

Ingredients for orange marmalade salmon

This recipe serves four. I prefer wild caught Alaskan salmon.

  • 20 ounces salmon filets about 5 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup orange or tangerine marmalade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger grated
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

How to make salmon with orange marmalade

  • Mix marmalade, soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, garlic and cayenne pepper (if using) in a flat dish, large enough to hold salmon filets.
  • Place fish, flesh side down and marinate for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Flip fish flesh side up and bake, 12-15 minutes or until done, (depending on thickness of your fish)

  1. Cynthia, this looks fabulous! I was never a fan of salmon until about 6 months ago when we had a wonderful vacation where we dined on salmon twice. Now, I think it’s the bees knees. Can’t wait to try your recipe. Yum!
