Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil & heat your oven to 350°
Rinse the salmon and pat dry
Place the salmon, skin side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Cover the salmon with the avocado oil. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper and create a pouch with the aluminum foil around the fish, or cover with an additional piece
Bake the salmon at 350° for 12-15 minutes, or until it begins to flake when pulled with a fork
While the salmon is baking, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant - about 1 minute
Add the jalapenos and cook until they begin to caramelize - about 7-8 minutes
Once the jalapenos begin to caramelize, add the apricot preserves and spicy brown mustard. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes
Spoon the apricot mixture over the salmon and serve immediately
