Peach Glazed Salmon Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Peach Glaze:

• 17.5 ounces (1 jar) Gift Basket Village Country Kitchens Peach Preserves
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Make the Peach Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the Gift Basket Village Country Kitchens Peach Preserves to taste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

4. Glaze the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the peach glaze, reserving some for later use.

5. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6. Broil (Optional): If desired, you can turn the oven to broil during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze slightly.

7. Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven. Brush with any remaining peach glaze. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.

8. Enjoy: Serve the Peach Glazed Salmon hot, accompanied by rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
