APRICOT GLAZE FOR SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Bring quinoa and broth to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until liquid has evaporated, about 10-15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. *Note, this is less than the recommended amount of liquid.
• Prepare ingredients: Preheat broiler to high. Season salmon with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Stir together apricot preserves and dijon mustard and spread over salmon filets. Slice green onions. Mince garlic. Chop zucchini. Chop pepper.
• Heat large skillet over medium high heat. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to pan, and when it's hot, add vegetables to pan, stirring occasionally for about 7-8 minutes.
• While the veggies are cooking, broil the salmon on the second or third rack for about 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
• When the quinoa is done cooking, add to veggie pan and toss together. Add soy sauce to pan and stir until the liquid has evaporated.

APRICOT DIJON SALMON AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 450˚F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
• Place broccoli florets on lined baking sheet and toss with 2 Tbsp olive oil, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste. Roast broccoli by itself at 450˚F for 5 minutes to soften, since broccoli needs a little more time to cook than salmon then remove from oven.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine all glaze ingredients, bring to a simmer and cook 1 minute then remove from heat and set aside.
• Push broccoli to the long sides of the baking sheet and arrange salmon (skin-side-down) in the center, leaving a little space between each filet. Season salmon with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste. Divide glaze evenly between each filet, spreading to coat the top and sides. Bake uncovered at 450˚F for 6-10 minutes*, or until flakey and just cooked through.
