Sweet -N- Heat Glazed Salmon

March 22, 2009

This recipe is a family favorite; something you’d expect to find in an upscale restaurant. And healthy too!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups apricot nectar
• 1/3 cups snipped dried apricots
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 12-ounce fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillet, about 1 inch thick

Directions

1. For glaze, in a medium saucepan stir together apricot nectar, apricots, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until mixture is thickened and reduced by about half, stirring occasionally. Remove 1/4 cup of the glaze to brush on the fish; set aside the remaining glaze until ready to serve.
2. Meanwhile, thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan, tucking under any thin edges.
3. Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Gently turn once during cooking and brush occasionally with the 1/4 cup of glaze during the last 4 minutes of broiling. Serve the fish with the reserved glaze.
