Apricot Glazed Salmon

Just 5 ingredients are all it takes to make this elegant and easy quick weeknight dinner. The Baked Salmon is juicy, sweet, and tasty. Gotta love a quick prep and have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes. While the salmon is baking,  make a nice pot of rice, or quinoa or just serve it with a fresh spinach salad.

Salmon is a great protein to work with, it’s healthy and very filling, on its own, it has great flavor, unlike Tilapia which usually tastes like foam material.

Choose big cuts that are soft pink, the redder ones are not that very tasty and lack texture. Another important thing is to avoid overcooking the salmon.

I bake them for 20 minutes at 350 Degrees F and it comes out perfect! Juicy with a pink center. Cooking it more than that will make your protein dry and extremely flaky. Ugh, you don’t want to eat overcooked salmon.

My kids are usually not fans of fish but when I serve Salmon I tell them it’s “Pink Chicken”, they fall for it now but I know they will start to question it as they grow up. For now, they are huge fans of Pink Chicken and I try to find different and original ways to make it like this delicious apricot-glazed salmon. I recommend using this apricot jam.

This week, my husband and I have worked a lot and we need a break. So we are planning to spend a lot of time with my parents and the girls without the stress of work.

Hope you can make this Apricot Glazed Salmon at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and use the hashtag #LivingSweet – I promise to Repost it.
