KLM flies seasonal using their 787 SLC/AMS. It's only three or four days each week. I love it for the fact it's a late departure both directions. Leave at 5pm from AMS, meaning get full day before flight. Its basically last flight to US ex-AMS. Return leave somewhere around 9 or 10pm from SLC.

For return I'd go either via ATL in J or AMS if in Y.
