I love quick dinners. Last week, I had about 30 minutes to get dinner made so my husband could eat while I was out for the evening. I decided to do a fish dish and since we had some salmon, I figured I’d do a sweet and spicy peach glazed salmon because I had all the ingredients and it sounded delicious. Turns out, I was right. It was so good that after I made it, I was tempted to eat it all and tell my husband to eat leftovers. Luckily for him, I didn’t and so I’ll share the recipe today.

What’s a favorite weeknight recipe for you?
I haven’t had any luck with baking my salmon (2 failed attempts), perhaps I need to try cooking them in a pan. Maybe 3rd times a charm 🙂

give it a try – so easy! 🙂
I just started eating seafood and Salmon is something I hadn’t tried yet. You make it sound appealing though!
it was very tasty and a super quick and easy meal to put together!
I love making salmon bc it is so easy. I usually make it the same way with just salt and pepper. I’ll have to try it this wau.

i love salmon for the same reasons!
OMG – i absolutely love salmon and eat it at least 2 times a week. Usually cook it on the Foreman grill but always look for fun spices and glazes to jazz it up a bit.

Thanks, Courtney; I was already hungry, and this is not helping – ha! 😉 Seriously, though, we love salmon at our house and I’m always trying to figure out how to make a yummy glaze for it – this is perfect! Thank you so much! Will try ASAP!

yeah, my only wish was that i’d made peach jam myself. next summer!
This looks so good. I usually bake my salmon but it’s been to hot. And I seem to always make it the same. My husband will love the spicyness of this recipe! Thanks for sharing.

you can up the spicy factor by adding more cajun seasoning and dialing back the sugar!
OMG!! That sounds amazing, I only recently started cooking salmon so I’m always looking for new ways to cook it that also won’t dry it out completely. I’m going to have to try this!

i hope you enjoy it!
Sounds amazing! Put a little salad with it (I eat salad with everything)! I love quick dinners, I have a very busy family of 5 so quick and easy dinners are a thing. Last night it was an egg white/turkey bacon/hash brown omelet night. Yes my kids will only eat omelets with turkey bacon and hash browns in them. I just had a baked sweet potato and chicken breast! 🙂
