Description
A simple recipe using leftover cranberry sauce to create a sweet and tangy glaze for baked salmon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup leftover cranberry sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and dried ginger to make the glaze.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush half of the cranberry glaze evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the hot salmon before serving.
Notes
- This glaze also works well on chicken breasts or pork chops.
- If your cranberry sauce is very thick, add a teaspoon of water to the glaze mixture to thin it slightly.
