This sounds great!! It is made with jalapenos, mustard, and apricot preserves. It was a Guy Fieri Foodnetwork recipe that I simplified. The glaze should be cooked then cooled, so add about 30 minutes for the cooling step.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm to the touch, has a bright pink or orange color, and no fishy odor.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the salmon: This will help the glaze penetrate the fish and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the salmon fillets so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: Overcooking will dry out the fish. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to cook the salmon.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: The salmon is best served hot, right out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Apricot glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The apricot glaze is sweet and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the flaky salmon. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salmon recipe, give apricot glazed salmon a try.
