Salmon with Apricot Glaze

This is sooooo good.

2 tbsp oil
1-2 jalapenos cut into rings (depends on how hot you like it) I usually do 1 and a half and seed the jalapeno.
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine
1 tbsp whole-grain mustard or dijon
1 cup apricot preserves
2-4 salmon filets depending on your family size
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a small saute pan over medium heat, heat oil. When hot, add jalapenos and saute until carmelized. Add garlic, and before it begins to brown, deglaze with white wine. Next add mustard and apricot preserves and bring to a simmer. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes and after let it completely cool.

Place salmon on parchment paper or foil over a cookie sheet. Season with salt and pepper and liberally apply cooled apricot glaze. Save some for serving. Cook salmon until flaky about 15 minutes or so checking on it occasionally (depends on the thickness of the salmon).

Make some white rice and green beans or sugar snap peas. Serve the salmon over the rice and drizzle additional glaze over the salmon and rice.
