Ingredients

  • 800 g (1,7lbs) salmon (trimmed into 4 skin-on fillets)
For the apricot glaze
  • ¾ cup (180ml) apricot jam/preserves
  • 1-2 tbsp (15-30ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) lemon juice
  • pinch of chilli flakes/red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC/430ºF. 
  2. Combine all the glaze ingredients and bring to a simmer in a small saucepan. Allow to cook for a few minutes until the glaze has thickened and coats the back of a spoon easily. Adjust seasoning (add more soy or lemon juice if necessary) and allow to cool slightly. 
  3. Line a baking tray with foil and grease with a little oil/cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets on the tray, skin-side down. Pour over the glaze and place in the oven. 
  4. Allow to bake for 7-10 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon every 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is cooked to your preference, and is glossy and sticky. 
  5. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving with sides of your choice.
