Combine the sugar, salt and orange zest in a bowl.
Lay the pastry on a sheet of parchment paper. Brush with half the butter and sprinkle with half the sugar mixture. Top with a sheet of parchment paper and lightly roll with a rolling pin.
Turn the pastry over, peel off the top parchment paper and repeat on the other side. Remove the top parchment paper and evenly spread the marmalade over the pastry.
Mark the center of the pastry and ½-inch on either side, then at the quarter points. Using the markings as a guide, fold over one edge of the pastry to the quarter point, then fold again towards the center leaving a ½-inch space from the center mark. Repeat on the other side and fold in half.
Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up. This makes it easier to cut.
Insert the wire rack into position 5. Set the oven to Bake, Convection, 385°F, for 9 minutes, confirm Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Line the roasting pan with parchment paper. Cut the pastry into 20 pieces, approximately ½-inch thick. Place 8 pieces, cut side up, evenly spaced apart in the pan. Place the remaining palmiers in the refrigerator while cooking.
Once preheated, place the pan in the oven and cook for 9 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, use a spatula to turn the palmiers over and continue cooking.
The palmiers should be golden and crisp. If not, cook a little longer.
Cool the palmiers in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Reline the pan with a parchment paper and repeat with the remaining palmiers.
Once cooled, the palmiers are ready to serve.
