Honey Balsamic Salmon

IT Guy won’t touch fish. Won’t. Touch. It. So of course if I ever want it, I have to have it when he’s not around because he really doesn’t even like the smell. But I love salmon and when my DIL gave me some salmon the other day I knew I’d have to cook it for myself for lunch. And that’s just what I did. This recipe makes enough for 4 salmon fillets but you could probably do 6 with this amount of glaze. It’s super good if you like salmon like I do. Whip up a yummy side dish with this....rice or risotto comes to mind. Kinda fancy but oh so simple!

Honey Balsamic Salmon

4 salmon fillets

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic ~ minced

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil then spray with cooking spray.

In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic in the olive oil for a few seconds.

Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper.

Cook until reduced, about 3 - 4 minutes.

Place salmon fillets on the foil then brush with balsamic mixture.

Cook salmon for 15 minutes, glazing every 5 minutes.

Serve over rice or with fresh veggies.

Here we go! I only show 

two salmon fillets in my 

picture but you can do 

4 - 6 with this recipe.

Brown the garlic for a 

little bit in the olive oil.

Then add the rest of 

the stuff for the sauce.

Baste the salmon and bake for about 

15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes.

Yum!
