The Perfect Blend of Savory and Sweet: Apricot Glazed Salmon

Today, I want to share with you a recipe that perfectly balances savory and sweet flavors — Apricot Glazed Salmon. This dish is ideal for a cozy dinner at home with a touch of elegance. The combination of juicy salmon and tangy apricot glaze creates a mouthwatering experience that you won’t soon forget.

To make this delectable Apricot Glazed Salmon, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • salmon fillets (4 fillets, about 150g each)
  • apricot preserves (1/2 cup)
  • soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Prepare your kitchen tools for this recipe:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • brush

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the apricot preserves, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Brush the apricot glaze generously over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Bake the Apricot Glazed Salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. While the salmon is baking, you can brush on additional glaze halfway through the cooking process for extra flavor.

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. The apricot glaze will have caramelized slightly, adding a beautiful sheen to the salmon.

This Apricot Glazed Salmon recipe yields a total weight of approximately 800g, with four servings. Each serving weighs around 200g, and you can expect each serving to be approximately 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some chopped pistachios over the salmon before serving. The added crunch and nutty flavor pair perfectly with the sweet apricot glaze, taking this dish to the next level.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this delightful Apricot Glazed Salmon dish. Feel free to customize it to your taste by adjusting the seasonings or adding your favorite herbs. Bon appétit!
