Orange-Glazed Salmon
When flash-frozen, fish is often fresher and better-tasting than its fresh counterpart. Watch for coupons or sales, and stock up on all different types of fish to round out your menu on wintry nights. This recipe calls for orange marmalade, but apple or currant jelly would also work. Fish always pairs well with a rice pilaf; use different types of rice such as basmati, arborio or brown. Cook chopped onions and garlic in butter until softened. Add salt and thyme or saffron. Cook 1 minute longer. Stir in rice to coat. Cook 1 minute. Add broth, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Add celery, mushrooms, nuts, pine nuts, raisins or other dried fruit. Voila! Rice pilaf!
