Recipe Guidance and Suggestions

Using Fresh Peaches:

Absolutely, fresh peaches can easily substitute canned ones. It’s advised to opt for yellow peaches over white for their fuller flavor. Ensure your peaches aren’t overly ripe, maintaining a hint of firmness will work best in this recipe.

Alternative Fish Options:

While salmon is the primary choice, you can also experiment with any firm-fleshed white fish, such as snapper, tilapia, or sea bass, to suit your personal preference.

How to make Glazed Salmon with Canned Peaches

Get your beautiful salmon fillet ready. Transfer it into a greased baking pan.

Drain a can of yellow cling peach chunks in a strainer, reserving 1 tablespoon of its syrup.

In a small sauce pan, combine brown sugar, butter and the reserved syrup.

Bring the pan over medium heat, melt the brown sugar in the butter. Remove the pan from the heat.

Add the whole grain mustard, soy sauce, olive oil,

grated fresh ginger, a little salt, and some black pepper. Mix it all up to make a beautiful glaze.

Brush half the amount of glaze on the salmon.

Coat the drained peaches with the remaining glaze,

and then dump them over the salmon.

Bake in the preheated 400 degree F (220 C) oven for 15-18 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon. Then take the pan out, move the rack to the top position, turn your oven to broiler setting on high, and return the salmon to oven and continue to broil for 5-7 minutes.

Make sure you watch carefully so it doesn’t burn.

Broiling the last few minutes at the end of cooking time will set the glaze nicely on the salmon. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then sprinkle a little cilantro on the top. Serve the salmon warm over rice and your meal is ready.
