Ingredients

  • 6 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup apricot spreadable fruit
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped dried apricots
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced chives
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

  1. Place salmon in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the wine, spreadable fruit and ginger; spoon over salmon.
  2. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
