In this easy recipe the sticky balsamic glaze has a sweet, tangy, and savory taste that lets the natural richness of the salmon shine through.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine or low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, more for serving
  • 4 (6oz) salmon fillets*
  • Sea salt and fresh pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic until soft, about 2 minutes, without browning.
  2. Stir in balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey, white wine, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.* Save the rest for serving.
  3. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Arrange salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean up). Brush fillets with just enough of the balsamic glaze to cover top and side. Sprinkle with oregano.
  4. Bake in a preheated 400° oven until the flesh is opaque but still moist and tender, and slightly translucent in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. Halfway through baste the salmon with the pan drippings.
  5. Remove from the oven and let salmon rest for a few minutes. Transfer from the pan to a serving platter or individual plates, leaving the skin behind on the parchment.

Equipment

Notes

The fish can also be cooked as large fillet 1 1/2 pounds. It will take a little longer to cook

The glaze will continue to thicken on its own as it cools.
