Apricot Dijon Glazed Salmon

The apricot preserves provided the sweet and I went with dijon mustard for the spicy, soy
sauce for the salty and lime juice for the sour and the combination created a fabulous blend of flavours that I accented with a touch of ginger and garlic. This recipe could not be easier, you simply mix the glaze, brush it on the salmon, bake and you're done.
