Balsamic Glazed Salmon
Balsamic Glazed Salmon is easy and impressive! Spread a sweet, tangy honey balsamic glaze over salmon fillets, then bake.
Prep: 2 minutes
Cook: 18 minutes
Total: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 servings
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
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (avoid parchment paper), then coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- 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.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk and simmer until the mixture thickens; about 4 minutes.
- Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the glaze.
- Bake for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.
- Baste with the glaze, then bake 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- TO STORE: Leftover balsamic glazed salmon may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: For best results, warm the salmon in a 350 degree F oven until heated through.
- TO FREEZE: Balsamic glazed salmon may be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before warming.
