Easily prepared and baked in the oven, this dish offers a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors, making it an elegant yet simple weeknight dinner that serves four.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 salmon filets, 6 ounces each

Apricot Glaze

  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves or jam
  • 1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons grated garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together apricot preserves, stone ground mustard, Dijon mustard, low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and grated garlic until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon filets in a shallow baking dish and gently pour the apricot glaze over them, ensuring each filet is coated evenly. Let the salmon sit for about 10 minutes while the oven preheats; if allowing to marinate longer (up to 30 minutes), cover and refrigerate to keep fresh.
  3. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to reach the proper temperature.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking dish with the marinated salmon in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the apricot glazed salmon with your favorite side dishes for a delicious and balanced meal.

Notes

  • Marinating the salmon for longer enhances the flavor but avoid exceeding 30 minutes to prevent the citrus lime juice from cooking the fish.
  • Use fresh grated ginger and garlic for the best flavor impact.
  • This recipe pairs well with rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Ensure salmon is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for food safety.
