Orange Glazed Salmon

Orange Glazed Salmon

Adapted from Everyday Food, October 2012 Issue

Quick note to my paleo friends. This recipe can be made paleo as long as you use organic mustard such as Cadia (alternatively DIY paleo mustard following Sonia’s recipe) and paleo orange marmalade (DIY following this recipe).

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 salmon fillets, about 4 oz / 110 gr each

4 tablespoons mustard (I used grainy mustard)

4 tablespoons orange marmalade

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat broiler to 450°F (230°C).

In a small bowl combine mustard and orange marmalade. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden (if it the salmon has the skin on, cook skin side first).

Turn off the heat and brush fillets with orange-mustard mixture. Transfer the skillet from the stovetop to the oven and broil for 5 minutes until the top is golden brown and perfectly caramelized.

If your salmon had the skin on, gently peel it off before serving (it should come off very easily).
