From the Test Kitchen

Myra’s Bronzed Salmon with Orange Marmalade and Israeli Couscous is the proud winner of our Mother’s Day Recipe Contest! The recipe, submitted by Myra’s daughter Lyla, hits all the right sweet, sour, and spicy notes. Myra pats the salmon with a mix of Cajun spices and brown sugar, then sears the salmon in a skillet, caramelizing the sugar and giving the salmon its “bronzed” character.
