Who would refuse the tree-ripened, fresh, big, juicy, plump, and sweet peaches? But it is very difficult to access fresh peaches in the middle of winter. (In some areas you might be able to, but they won’t taste like summer peaches in season).

Today, I would like to share a recipe that can use these great canned peaches in a healthy main course; Glazed Salmon with Peaches. If you love to use fresh peaches, you can just simply replace it in the recipe.

Glazed salmon is moist and delicious with peach glaze.

Salmon is Family Favorite

Salmon is perfect protein choice to pair with fruits. The tender, flaky meat is very moist, the peaches brings irresistible fragrance and mellow flavor, and the whole grain mustard glaze binds the two to pair perfectly.

When I served this meal to my kids, they all approved its flavor and devoured the entire salmon. My 13-year-old daughter commented, “It is savory with a hint of sweetness.” The recipe is very simple and easy to put together. You will have a delicious and healthy dinner within 25 minutes from start to finish.

Recip FAQs

Can I use Fresh Peaches?

Of course. Just simply replace the canned peaches with fresh peaches, I would recommend to use yellow peaches over white, though. Make sure the peaches aren’t too ripen. You will need a slight firmness to it.

What other fish can I use instead of salmon

Any white fish with firm flesh would be ideal; such as snapper, tilapia, sea bass, etc.
