Buying a side of salmon and filleting
it yourself, then freezing individual
portions, means this pantry meal
is only as far away as your freezer. Orange-Glazed Salmon fillets and simple
sautéed greens couldn’t be any better or easier. Orange
marmalade and a touch of brown sugar lend a sweet
element to the salmon. Cajun spice lends a little — you
guessed it — spice. And lime juice freshens it all up.

How To Check Salmon For Bones
To check for pin bones, run
your fingertips over the salmon fillet. Use
needle-nose pliers to pull out any bones
that you find.
Instructions
Combine Cajun seasoning,
brown sugar, and salt; rub on
both sides of fillets.
Sauté fillets in oil in a nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat,
3–4minutes; flip and cook other
side 2–3minutes more.
Whisk together marmalade and
lime juice; stir into skillet until
marmalade melts. Carefully flip
fillets until coated with glaze on
all sides. Continue to cook fillets
until they flake easily with a fork.
Serve fillets with lime wedges.
Once each fillet has been checked for
pin bones, rub the spice mixture into
the salmon.
Carefully turn the fillets over to avoid
breaking them. A fish spatula is the perfect
tool and makes it easy.
Add marmalade mixture to the skillet. When
marmalade is melted, turn the fish fillets to
coat them.
