Cooking spray

4 salmon fillets with skin (about 5 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry

SAUCE

1 teaspoon grated orange zest

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons honey

1½ tablespoons soy sauce (lowest sodium available)

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

1 medium jalapeño, seeds and ribs discarded, finely chopped

⅛ teaspoon salt

1. Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.

2. Put the fish on the baking sheet with the skin side down.

3. In a small saucepan, whisk together the sauce ingredients. Spoon 1 teaspoon sauce over each fillet.

4. Broil the fish about 6 inches from the heat for 8 minutes, or until the desired doneness.

5. Meanwhile, bring the remaining sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until reduced by 1½ tablespoons (to about ¼ cup).

6. Transfer the fish to a serving plate. Spoon the sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with the salt.
