Just 5 ingredients is 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, quinoa or just serve it with a fresh spinach salad.

Salmon is a great protein to work with, it’s healthy and very filling, plus on its own, it has great flavor, unlike Tilapia that 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.

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 don’t know about you but I am looking forward to this weekend. My parents are coming into town and we are very excited to see them.

They live in Venezuela and they try to come every few months. I am very close to them and miss them. Hope someday they can move to Miami and we can see them every day.

This week, my husband and I have worked a lot and we definitely need a break. So we are planning of spending 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/or use the hashtag #LivingSweet – I promise to Repost it.
