Description

This Glazed Salmon with Fruit Salsa recipe combines the rich flavors of marinated salmon topped with a sweet orange marmalade glaze and a refreshing, vibrant fruit salsa made from pineapple, kiwi, mango, strawberries, and red bell pepper. Perfectly grilled or oven-baked, this dish offers a delicious balance of savory and sweet with a hint of spice, ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients

Salmon and Glaze

  • 3-4 salmon fillets (8 ounces each)
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup orange marmalade

Fruit Salsa

  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 kiwi, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped mango
  • 1 cup diced strawberries
  • ¼-½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ¾ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 ½ tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Salmon: In a zip-lock bag, mix together soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Add the salmon fillets to the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  2. Prepare the Grill: While the salmon is marinating, warm up your grill and get it ready for indirect heat cooking.
  3. Glaze and Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and brush each fillet generously with orange marmalade. Place the salmon over indirect heat on the grill and cook to your desired level of doneness, approximately 10-12 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. Oven Alternative: If you prefer to cook in the oven, preheat it to 450ºF. Place the glazed salmon on a grill pan or in a cast-iron skillet and bake for about 12 minutes, following the guideline of 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  5. Prepare the Fruit Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced pineapple, chopped kiwi, chopped mango, diced strawberries, crushed red pepper flakes, diced red bell pepper, champagne vinegar, and sugar. Mix well and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
  6. Serve: Serve the grilled or baked salmon warm, paired with the fruit salsa served at room temperature for a delightful contrast.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes but no more than 1 hour to prevent the fish from becoming too salty or mushy.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruit for the salsa to maximize sweetness and flavor balance.
  • The crushed red pepper flakes add a mild heat; adjust quantity according to your spice tolerance.
  • The orange marmalade acts as a sweet glaze and helps keep the salmon moist during cooking.
  • If grilling, use indirect heat to avoid burning the glaze.
  • The fruit salsa can be prepared a few hours ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
