Apricot Dijon Salmon And Broccoli Recipes

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.

EASY BAKED STICKY APRICOT SALMON

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC/430ºF.
• Combine all the glaze ingredients and bring to a simmer in a small saucepan. Allow to cook for a few minutes until the glaze has thickened and coats the back of a spoon easily. Adjust seasoning (add more soy or lemon juice if necessary) and allow to cool slightly.
• Line a baking tray with foil and grease with a little oil/cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets on the tray, skin-side down. Pour over the glaze and place in the oven.
• Allow to bake for 7-10 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon every 2-3 minutes, until the salmon is cooked to your preference, and is glossy and sticky.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving with sides of your choice.

15-MINUTE BROILED SALMON AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set a rack 2 inches from the heat.
• On a large sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, toss the broccoli with the olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the broccoli out into a singer layer. Broil the broccoli while you prepare the salmon.
• Thinly slice the scallions and finely grate the lemon zest, then add them to a small bowl with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven. (Parts of the broccoli should be lightly charred.) Use a spatula to stir the broccoli and move it to the outer edges of the baking sheet. Sprinkle each fillet all over with salt and pepper and place them in the center of the baking sheet. Divide the mayonnaise mixture on top of the fillets, spreading to cover. Broil, rotating the pan halfway through, until the sauce has turned deep golden brown and the salmon is opaque, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cut half of the zested lemon into wedges.
• Divide the salmon, broccoli and lemon wedges among 4 plates and serve immediately.
