Broiled Salmon with Peach-Dijon Glaze

Over Labor Day weekend, I took a trip up to Vancouver, BC. The city is beautiful - green, nice coastal breeze, pedestrian friendly, and a foodie lover's paradise. It is the home of 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, where my hubby (aka. the "barista" of our coffee-loving home) orders our freshly roasted espresso beans for our morning lattes.

Since he was up in Vancouver for business the days prior to the weekend, I was left with the duty to finish up the veggies that were left in the fridge - namely, green beans. It was a Thursday evening after a long day at work and I contemplated grabbing some Panda takeout for dinner. Then I thought to myself, if I do that, then the green beans will go bad. Since it was one of those times when I didn't want to spend effort making anything, I opted for the tried and true broiled salmon with a simple glaze. It's quick, tasty, and the fish stays completely moist. What's even better is that you can make it with just 5 basic ingredients in less than 10 minutes!







Broiled Salmon with Peach-Dijon Glaze
Adapted from Cooking Light
Yield: 2 servings

1/4 cup peach preserves (or orange marmalade)
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/3 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Dash of ground ginger
2 (7 oz.) salmon fillets

1. Preheat broiler. Meanwhile, combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring well.

2. Place fish on a baking pan coated with cooking spray. Brush half of peach-dijon mixture over fish; broil 6 minutes. Brush fish with remaining mixture; broil for 2 more minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

3. Enjoy immediately!
