Balsamic Glazed Salmon

About This Recipe

Balsamic Glazed Salmon is easy and impressive! Spread a sweet, tangy honey balsamic glaze over salmon fillets, then bake.

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets ((5 ounces each))
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 teaspoons  Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (avoid parchment paper), then coat with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, watching carefully so that it does not burn.
3. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk and simmer until the mixture thickens; about 4 minutes.
4. Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the glaze.
5. Bake for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.
6. Baste with the glaze, then bake 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
