Mustard and salmon are an iconic duo in the kitchen, bringing out the best qualities in one another to create an effortless, can’t-go-wrong seafood meal in a matter of minutes. Adding in a spoonful of jarred fruit preserves takes things over the top to create a glazy sauce for the fish. It's an easy dish made from a few pantry staples that feels much more elegant than the sum of its parts. Baking the fish alongside a flavorful vegetable like broccolini or asparagus makes this an easy sheet pan meal to add to your recipe rotation.
Try using preserves made from blackberry, lingonberry, or raspberry for a nice balance of flavors. You can choose to cook with any variety of wild-caught salmon. Sockeye’s gamey flavor works particularly well with mustard, while the sweetness of the preserves can complement the delicate taste of king or coho.
