Apricot Dijon Glazed Salmon

Apricot Dijon Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • ¼ cup apricot preserves or jam
  • 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce, or use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, grated

Directions:

  1. Warm up the oven:
    1. Set the oven temperature to 400°F, or 200°C.
    2. To prevent the salmon from sticking during cooking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with oil.
  2. Get the Glaze Ready:
    1. Grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, garlic, and apricot preserves should all be whisked together in a small basin.
    2. Stir until the glaze is smooth and well mixed.
  3. Season the Salmon:
    1. Lay the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet after patting them dry with a paper towel.
    2. Season the fillets on both sides with a little salt and pepper.
  4. Put the Glaze on:
    1. Coat each salmon fillet evenly with the apricot Dijon glaze by brushing it on liberally.
  5. Bake the Salmon:
    1. Depending on the thickness of the fillets, bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven.
    2. The salmon should have a caramelised coating and be cooked through but still tender.
    3. You may broil the salmon for a final one to two minutes for further caramelisation.
  6. To serve:
    1. Take the salmon out of the oven and give it a minute or two to rest.
    2. Serve with your preferred sides, such a fresh salad, steaming rice, or roasted veggies.

In conclusion, the sweet, acidic, and savoury flavours of this apricot dijon-glazed salmon are well balanced.
