Balsamic Glazed Salmon
Reducing balsamic vinegar turns it into a thick and flavorful glaze that that, because of its sweet taste, pairs perfectly with rich salmon. Once you have this easy sauce mastered you can try it on grilled steaks, chicken or pork.
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1 C Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
Heat oven to 450F.
Season salmon with salt and pepper; place in oven-proof baking dish and bake until opaque throughout, 10-12 minutes.
While fish is cooking, place vinegar in small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/3 cup, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on serving plates and drizzle with glaze.
