Apricot Candied Salmon with Basil & Goat Cheese
This Apricot Candied Salmon recipe is so delicious and easy! Tender salmon fillets are cooked in a sweet and tangy brown sugar apricot and dijon glaze. Once the glaze is thick and sticky, it's topped with crumbled goat cheese and fresh basil! And best of all, it's a one pot dish that's ready under 20 minutes.
