Ingredients
– 800 g (1.7 lbs) salmon, trimmed into 4 skin-on fillets
– ¾ cup (180 ml) apricot jam or preserves
– 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) soy sauce
– 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
– Pinch of chili flakes or red pepper flakes (optional)
– ½ tsp garlic powder
– 2 tbsp (30 ml) water
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 220ºC (430ºF) and line a baking tray with foil for easy cleanup.
2-In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup (180 ml) apricot jam or preserves, 1-2 tbsp (15-30 ml) soy sauce, 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice, a pinch of chili flakes or red pepper flakes (if using), ½ tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp (30 ml) water, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Adjust seasoning as needed, then let it cool slightly.
3-Line a baking tray with foil and lightly grease it. Place the 800 g (1.7 lbs) salmon fillets skin-side down on the tray. Pour the glaze evenly over the salmon.
4-Bake for 7-10 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon every 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is cooked to your liking and the glaze is sticky and glossy.
5-Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving with your choice of sides.
