Salmon with Apricot Sauce

Fruity Salmon with Apricot Sauce is a healthy, simple and delicious meal, perfect for midweek. I think that fruity flavors pair so well with salmon and I think you’ll love how great this apricot glaze tastes too! I love to use salmon for this dish, but you could use halibut or another firm fish instead of salmon if you prefer.

To make the sauce, you simply bring the apricot nectar, preserves, scallion, oregano and some salt to a boil. When it reduces, add the apricots, and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce. Add some grilled salmon and there you have it! This delicious meal is ready in 30 minutes and tastes great served with steamed greens and some brown rice.

So, how do you make Salmon with Apricot Sauce?

Steps to make Salmon with Apricot Sauce

1	Prepare the fish	3
Wash the fish under cold running water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set to one side.
2	Chop apricots	2
Roughly chop the fresh apricots into chunks. If you are using dried apricots, cut each one in half and place in a bowl of boiling water to rehydrate.
3	Make the sauce	2
In a saucepan, bring the apricot nectar, apricot preserves, scallion, oregano, and ⅛ teaspoon salt to a boil, stirring regularly.
4	Reduce the sauce	8
Turn the heat down to low and allow the sauce to simmer, uncovered, for about 8 minutes until it has thickened.
5	Reserve some sauce	1
Remove ¼ cup of sauce to brush on the fish later.
6	Add apricots and hot sauce	2
Add the apricots, and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce to the remaining sauce in the pan. Cover and set aside.
7	Heat the grill	2
Preheat the grill to medium heat and lightly grease a grilling rack.
8	Make a coating for the fish	2
Combine the olive oil and remaining 1-2 teaspoons of hot pepper sauce. Use it to coat both sides of the fish. Shake some salt and pepper on both sides of the fish too.
9	Grill the fish	8
Grill the salmon for 6-9 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling. Brush with the reserved ¼ cup of sauce 2-3 minutes before it is fully cooked.
10	Serve
To serve, drizzle the apricot sauce over the salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh oregano.
