Skinny Spicy Apricot Glazed Salmon Recipes

APRICOT GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Pat the salmon dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place it into a baking dish, around 9 x 13 or big enough to fit the fillet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together all of the glaze ingredients except for the tapioca flour. Pour it over the salmon, and let it marinate for 20 minutes. Optional, but if you're baking a large fillet, you can slice the salmon going across, not cutting fully through, but creating slits so that the marinade seeps through, and the middle section cooks evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F while the salmon marinates.
• After the salmon marinates, bake the salmon for 20 minutes on the middle rack. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and mix the tapioca flour into the sauce. To prevent clumps, you can mix the tapioca flour in 1 tbsp of water before pouring it in.
• Place the dish back into the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, then broil for 2-3 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness and size of your salmon.
• Once the salmon is done, remove from oven and top with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
