img_0526

This recipe is enough for two salmon fillets but can be easily doubled or tripled.

Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 T apricot jam

2 T brown sugar

1 T honey

1 T hoisin sauce

Juice of one lemon

1/4 t cayenne pepper

1/3 cup apple juice (My favorite is Simply Apple)

Preheat oven to 425°

Mix all ingredients except salmon in a large bowl.

Pour 1/3 of the marinade in a small sauce pan and reduce over medium heat while salmon cooks.

Add salmon fillets to remaining marinade and let sit for 15-20 minutes.

Place salmon on a baking sheet lined with foil and put into the preheated oven. Discard used marinade.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Pour reduced sauce over salmon and enjoy.
