Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets Salmon Freshness is key; can substitute with halibut or trout.
For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Apricot preserves Can use peach jam or any fruit preserve.
  • 1 tablespoon Grainy mustard For a different kick, try prepared horseradish.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Whole grain mustard also works as a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce Tamari can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime juice Fresh lime juice is ideal; lemon juice is a fine alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated) Ground ginger can be used if fresh is not available.
  • 1 clove Garlic (grated) Can use garlic powder if fresh garlic is short.

Equipment

  • baking dish
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine apricot preserves, grainy mustard, Dijon mustard, low sodium soy sauce, fresh lime juice, grated ginger, and garlic. Stir until smooth.
  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in a lightly greased baking dish and brush with the glaze.
  4. Bake the salmon for approximately 10 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Optionally, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes to an hour before baking for added flavor.
  6. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
