Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 3 cloves)
- 1 lb salmon filet, cut into 4 equal portions
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix it up: In a small bowl, combine apricot preserves, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth for a delicious glaze.
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon portions dry. Season with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Sear the salmon: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon, skin side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- Glaze and bake: Brush the glaze generously over the salmon. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
For the best results, choose wild-caught salmon if possible. Add red pepper flakes for heat!
