Zesty Apricot Glazed Salmon

Submitted by Recipe Reader

"This sounds great!! It is made with jalapenos, mustard, and apricot preserves. It was a Guy Fieri Foodnetwork recipe that I simplified. The glaze should be cooked then cooled, so add about 30 minutes for the cooling step."

This is a GREAT recipe --- we tried with salmon on cedar planks (BBQ) -- it was fabulous!

VERY, VERY NICE SALMON! The only change I made was to cut back on the amount of jalapenos, but other than that, I followed the recipe! We really enjoyed the combo of apricot, garlic & lemon on this salmon! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook tag]
