A simple feast

Today my better half came up with the idea of salmon for dinner, funny I had that in mind too, he suggested some of my bitter orange marmalade and brown sugar as a marinade, so I executed and complimented the salmon with a few asparagus and fingerlings.

Very easy and tasty dinner.

Salmon with orange marmalade glaze
Method

Baste the salmon with 3 large table spoon full of marmalade on both sides, add a couple of tsp of brown sugar, salt and pepper, let it rest for 30mn in the fridge.

Pan fry on very high heat for 3 mn max on each side, place in an oven proof dish and place under broiler for a further 5mn on each side.

Don't overcook or it will be dried out.

Serve immediately with steamed asparagus and fingerling potatoes.

Bon appétit
