| 1 12-oz. | Salmon fillet, about 1 inch thick |
| 1 tsp | Dried juniper berries, crushed |
| 2 tbsp | Dry vermouth |
| 3/4 tsp | Finely snipped fresh thyme |
| 1/2 tsp | Finely snipped fresh rosemary |
| 2 tbsp | Apple jelly |
1. If frozen, thaw fish. For glaze, in a dry, small saucepan cook juniper berries over medium high heat about 1 minute or until toasted. Shake pan frequently. Carefully add vermouth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Stir in apple jelly. Simmer about 1 minute or just until jelly is melted. Remove from heat.
2. Rinse fish and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut fish into 2 pieces. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add fish, skin side up. Cook about 2 minutes or until light brown. Transfer fish, skin side down, to a baking dish. Sprinkle fish lightly with salt and pepper. Spoon the glaze over fish.
3. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 8 minutes to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily and glaze is light brown.
