balsamic glazed salmon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and let it reduce for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
3. While the glaze is reducing, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear salmon fillets, skin-side up, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 minutes.
5. Transfer the seared salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the balsamic glaze.
6. Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet and sprinkle with fresh rosemary.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
9. Serve with additional glaze drizzled over the top and pair with roasted vegetables or steamed rice.
