Salmon:
Coat both sides of the salmon filets with extra virgin olive oil. Season both sides with the jerk seasoning. Cook filets on a grill pan over medium high heat, turning once. (About three minutes per side).

Orange Rum Sauce:
In a sauce pan, sauté the garlic in one tablespoon. Extra virgin olive oil over medium heat for two-to-three minutes. Stir often, do not allow to brown. Add the marmalade, sweet chili sauce and rum.
