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.
