I love to make this salmon during the holidays. The rosemary and orange zest give it so much flavor and feel wintry and festive. Atlantic salmon (which I recommend for this recipe) is so mild but not overshadowed by the flavors of the glaze. You only need a few ingredients and they go together beautifully.
What you need:
2 lbs Atlantic salmon
2 tbsp marmalade (I use Bonne Maman)
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
salt and pepper
Heat the oven to 425° . Crush up the herbs with your fingers and add to a microwave safe bowl. Add the marmalade and olive oil and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to combine. You should have the consistency of maple syrup, if it’s too thick add a touch more olive oil.
I like to line a baking pan with parchment paper so the skin doesn’t stick to my baking pan. Place the fish on top and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Pour the orange/herb glaze evenly over the top. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes. I prefer to pull the salmon out around 130° for medium/well and it will cook a touch more as it rests. The internal temperature for well done salmon is 145°. Atlantic salmon is fairly forgiving. Cook times will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon and individual filets will cook much faster. It should flake easily when finished. Enjoy!
