Recipe by Woman's Day Kitchen The sweet tang of citrus and the bite of hot pepper jelly are what make this salmon dish so uniquely flavorful.

Ingredients

1 c. long-grain white rice
1/2 c. sliced almonds
2 navel oranges
1/2 c. hot pepper jelly
4 salmon steaks or skinless pieces salmon fillet
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, spread the almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until light golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Heat broiler. Line a broiler-proof rimmed baking sheet with nonstick foil.
Squeeze the juice from half an orange into a small bowl (you should have 2 tablespoons juice total). Add the jelly and whisk to combine.

Cut away the peel and pith of the remaining 1 1/2 oranges. Cut the oranges into 1/2-inch pieces. Fold the oranges, almonds, and parsley into the rice. Serve with the salmon and the remaining jelly mixture.
