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.
