Description
Reducing balsamic vinegar (simmering it until it decreases in volume) turns it into a thick and flavorful glaze that, because of its sweet taste, pairs perfectly with rich salmon. Once you have this easy sauce mastered, you can try it on grilled steaks, chicken, or pork.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Start to finish: 12minutes
Ingredients
2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat oven to 450°F.
Season salmon with salt and pepper; place in an ovenproof baking dish and bake until opaque throughout, 10 to 12 minutes.
While fish is cooking, place vinegar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/6 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on serving plates and drizzle with glaze.
