First taste of spring: Apricot-ginger glazed Salmon

This recipe made my mouth water, and the dish did not dissapoint this anticipation. This Salmon excited a riot on my tastebuds. Fruity, slightly spicey and the wonderfulness that is salmon all in one easy dish. This will be a repeat often dish.
Apricot-ginger Glazed Salmon Recipe
  • 1 lb. wild salmon fillet (copper river is the best!)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam or preserves
  • 3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)

Method


Preheat oven to 450°F.
Cut fillets into equal servings. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper; place skin side down on greased or parchment-lined (for easy clean up) rimmed baking sheet.
In small bowl, stir together jam, ginger and soy sauce - and red pepper if you want to add some spicy-hot to it. Spread evenly over salmon.
Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily. The glaze may caramelize a bit.
