Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Pinch kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
4 (6-ounce, 1-inch thick) salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Glaze: Bring all of the ingredients to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, stirring to melt the preserves and to keep the mixture from burning. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the glaze reduce until syrupy, about 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasonings with salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Salmon:
  • Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil just before grilling, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill the salmon for about 4 minutes per side, brushing with the glaze during the final few minutes of cooking. Transfer the salmon to serving plates and brush them with the remaining glaze before serving.
