Salmon Roasted with a Ginger Fig and Orange Glaze

Wondering what to do with that fig jam you got in your Christmas stocking?  Paint it on salmon - you'll love it.  Thin it down with a bit of orange juice, and enrich with ginger and coriander, and you'll have a salmon glaze that will be remembered.
4 portions salmon, about 1-1/2 lb, skinned

Ginger Fig and Orange Glaze:
1/4 cup fig jam
2 Tbsp orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2-inch fresh ginger, finely minced
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk together the fig glaze in a small bowl.
Lay salmon fillets on a baking sheet and slather the fig glaze over top of them. Roast for about 10 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve with favorite sides.

Serves 4.

Cook’s Note: Here I served with a quinoa pilaf and some sautéed greens.
