Grilled salmon with an apricot, mustard, and balsamic glaze served over a bed of baby arugula dressed with a simple vinaigrette made from the same ingredients as the glaze. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO.

Recipe Ingredients

  • ¼ cup apricot preserves
  • 1 ½ tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons apricot preserves
  • 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
  • ⅓ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 (8 ounce) salmon fillets, cut 1 1/4-inch thick

  • 3 cups baby arugula
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Mix 1/4 cup apricot preserves, 1 1/2 tablespoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar in a bowl to make glaze. Divide glaze between 2 separate bowls.
  2. 2 Whisk 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 teaspoon apricot preserves, 1 teaspoon mustard, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Drizzle in 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking constantly, until dressing is emulsified.
  3. 3 Preheat Panasonic Countertop Induction Oven to Medium-High on the "Grill" setting.
  4. 4 Brush 1 teaspoon of olive oil over both sides of each piece of salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. 5 Place salmon flesh-side down in the center of the grill pan. Set timer for 3 1/2 minutes and press "Start." Flip salmon so skin side is down. Brush with glaze from one of the bowls. Set timer for 4 minutes and press "Start." Remove salmon to a plate and spoon glaze from the second bowl on top. Let salmon rest for 5 minutes.

    I made this is a regular oven. Preheated it to 375, placed the salmon skin side up for 5 minutes, then turned and cooked for another 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness after 10 minutes. Yummmm!

    I happened to have apricot infused balsamic vinegar and used that. That is the only thing I did differently and only because I have it why not use it. This is amazing! I am saving it and will make it again.

    Why does the recipe only include instructions that use some sort of hyped oven?

    5 stars all the way! The glaze is absolutely delicious! I made it exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. My salmon pieces were 6oz each but the stated 1 1/4" thickness and the cook time was perfect. I could probably get away with making half the amount of dressing for the arugula - - Read more ...

    We liked this! I substituted spinach for the arugula because that's what I had on hand. The sauce is really delicious and I think this would be really good served on a bed of rice as well with some of the sauce drizzled over top.
