Sunday Dinner at Babette's November 21, 2010

Try this Glazed Salmon and Pasta Salad if you want a real treat for a Sunday dinner. I had the leftovers on Monday, and the pasta salad was even better the day after for lunch.


Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup Smucker's Apricot Simply fruit Spreadable

2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 (6 ounces) salmon fillets

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the oil and butter, Smuckers Apricot Simply fruit Spreadable, garlic and almonds; set aside half of the mixture for serving. Before starting baking, coat pan with nonstick cooking spray. Bake salmon, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting frequently with Smuckers Apricot Simply fruit Spreadable mixture. Broil until crisp, remove from oven and serve with Asian Pasta Salad.
