Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Making Balsamic Glazed Salmon is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens slightly (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Salmon: Carefully add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes without disturbing them. Flip the fillets and cook for another 4-5 minutes. The fish should be cooked through but still moist in the center.
5. Glaze the Salmon: Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the balsamic mixture over the salmon. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to coat the fish thoroughly.
6. Rest the Salmon: Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a serving platter and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle any remaining balsamic glaze over the salmon, then sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
