Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for searing
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, let’s mix up that marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This is where all the magic happens!
- Once you’ve got your marinade ready, place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour that tasty mixture over the top. Make sure the salmon is coated well and let it marinate for about 15-30 minutes. This really helps to soak up all those fabulous flavors.
- While the salmon is soaking, get your skillet nice and hot. Add a splash of olive oil and let it heat up. You want it to be sizzling before you add that salmon.
- Take the salmon out of the marinade (but don’t discard it just yet) and place the fillets in the hot skillet skin-side down. Sear them for about 4-5 minutes until they get a crispy, golden crust. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- During the last couple of minutes of cooking, pour a bit of the leftover marinade into the pan to glaze the salmon. This’ll enhance that flavor and give you a glossy finish that looks fancy but was so easy!
- Once cooked, let the salmon rest for a minute. Then, plate it up, drizzle with some of that balsamic glaze from the pan, and sprinkle chopped parsley on top if you’re feeling fancy.
And there you have it! Your kitchen is now filled with the delightful aroma of balsamic glazed salmon. Serve this beauty with some roasted veggies or a fresh salad, and enjoy every single bite!
