Ingredients

• ✓ salmon filet
• apricot nectar
• apricot
• honey
• soy sauce
• ginger
• garlic
• cayenne pepper
• cinnamon

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven's broiler, and grease a broiling pan.
2. 2 In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the apricot nectar, dried apricots, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cinnamon and cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until reduced by about half. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove 1/4 cup of the glaze for basting, and set the remaining aside.
3. 3 Place the salmon filet on the greased broiling pan, and brush with glaze. Broil 3 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. Gently turn over once during cooking, and baste frequently during the last 4 minutes. Serve with remaining glaze.

Ingredients

• ✓ salmon filet
• olive oil
• garlic
• dill
• salt
• black pepper
• lemon zest
• lemon wedge

Instructions

1. 1 Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.
2. 2 When ready to grill, either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn grill burners on high for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix oil, garlic, dill, salt, pepper and lemon zest; rub over salmon and into scored areas to coat.
3. 3 Place soaked cedar on hot grill grate, close lid, and watch until wood starts to smoke, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to hot plank, move salmon off direct charcoal heat or turn burners to low, and cook covered until salmon is just opaque throughout (130 on a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section) 20 to 25 minutes or longer, depending on thickness and grill temperature. Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

• olive oil
• shallot
• black olive tapenade
• salt
• basil leaf
• thyme
• black pepper
• aluminum foil

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Close cover.
2. 2 Combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, shallot, tapenade, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper in a bowl; mix well.
3. 3 Lay out foil on a work surface, shiny side-up. Place each salmon fillet skin side-down in the center of a piece of foil. Cover each piece of salmon with 1/4 of the tomato mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges well.

• ✓ salmon filet
• olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• mustard
• salt
• black pepper
• salt
• pepper
• baby spinach
• red bell pepper
• mushroom
