73% less sat fat • 56% less sodium than the original recipe—see the comparison. Keep salmon—a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin D and protein—healthful by broiling it and brushing with a low-fat soy, ginger and apricot sauce.
Prep Time:30 min
Start to Finish:40 min
makes:4 Servings
Salmon
116-ounce fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillet, 1 inch thick
Apricot Glaze
1 1/2cups apricot nectar
1/3cup snipped dried apricots
2tablespoons honey
2tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2cloves garlic, minced
1/4teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8teaspoon cayenne pepper
1.Thaw fish, if frozen. For glaze, in a medium saucepan, stir together apricot nectar, apricots, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until mixture is thickened and reduced by about half, stirring occasionally. Remove 1/4 cup of the glaze for basting; set aside the remaining glaze until ready to serve.
2.Preheat broiler. Rinse fish; pat dry. Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan, tucking under any thin edges.
3.Broil about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, gently turning once halfway through broiling and brushing occasionally with the reserved ¼ cup glaze the last 4 minutes of broiling. Cut fish into four portions. Serve fish with the remaining glaze.
