Sweet 'N' Hot Glazed Salmon

Here is a great recipe that you don't have to light the grill for. You can do it right in the oven. This recipe is for 4 servings


Sweet 'N' Hot Glazed Salmon



1 1/2 cups apricot nectar (the canned stuff)

1/3 cup chopped dried apricots

2 tbs honey

2tbs soy salt (the low sodium variety)

1 Tbs grated ginger (the fresh stuff - it's in the produce department)

2 cloves fresh garlic minced

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp cinnamon

One 3/4 pound salmon filet without the skin

Pre-heat boiler and grease your broiling pan

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the nectar, apricots, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic cinamon and cayenne. Bring to a boil then reduce to a medium low and simmer for 20 minutes or until reduced by half. KEEP YOUR EYE ON IT. Stir occasionally so it won't stick. Don't walk away and watch Big Brother or something.

Remove 1/4 cup of the glaze for basting and set the rest aside

Set the salmon filet on the pan and brush with the glaze. Broil 3 inches from the heat for 8 - 12 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Gently turn once during cooking and baste frequently for the last 4 minutes. Serve with the remaining glaze.

Remember to stay in the kitchen while you cook this. It isn't something that you can just toss in the oven then go do something else!
