I love orange marmalade and wanted a lighter version of orange salmon without heave spice rubs or brown sugar. What a rewarding outcome this was. —Janet Caico, Hillsborough, North Carolina

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 cup orange marmalade spreadable fruit
2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
4-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon reduced-fat butter, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package (6 ounces) fresh baby spinach

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the marmalade, cream, soy sauce, ginger and 4-1/2 teaspoons butter. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; set aside.
Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Place salmon skin side down on grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
In a large skillet, saute garlic in oil and remaining butter for 1 minute. Add spinach and remaining salt and pepper; cook for 4-5 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Divide spinach among four plates; top each with salmon. Drizzle with marmalade sauce. Yield: 4 servings.

Excellent, my husband and I really liked it. I cut the recipe in half since there was only 2 of us, but I didn't cut the spinach in half. It cooks down so much the 6 oz. pkg, was perfect for 2.
