Balsamic Glazed Salmon
Author:
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • Glaze:
  • ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped
  • Salmon:
  • Four salmon fillets
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions
  1. To make the glaze:
  2. Add balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard and finely chopped garlic to a small saucepan.
  3. Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook until the glaze is thick. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. To make the salmon:
  5. While the glaze is simmering, pan-sear the salmon. The salmon will cook quickly with this method.
  6. Rinse and dry the salmon and season it with sea salt and pepper.
  7. Add a little olive oil to your skillet, heat it on high and add the salmon, flesh side down. Sear for a few minutes until a crust has formed.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and add a small amount of water or white wine to the pan, and put a lid on it to finish cooking the salmon all the way through. Once cooked, flip it out onto a plate to rest, skin side down.
  9. When ready to serve, plate the salmon and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
