Ingredients
- 4‑6 salmon fillets (5–6 oz each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup white wine or low‑sodium chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
1. Pat salmon dry; season with salt and pepper; let rest 10–15 min at room temperature.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, cook garlic ~3 min until soft. Add balsamic vinegar, wine (or broth), honey, mustard, and rosemary.
3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer until glaze thickens (~5–10 min), stirring occasionally.
4. Preheat oven to 400 °F (or broiler). Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with oil or cooking spray.
5. Brush salmon with glaze and drizzle olive oil. Bake 10–14 min (or broil 3 min per side) until salmon flakes with a fork.
6. Remove from oven; brush with any remaining glaze. Garnish with fresh rosemary before serving.
Notes
• Letting salmon rest at room temperature helps cook evenly. • Use white wine for flavor or chicken broth as a non‑alcoholic alternative. • Glaze can be made ahead, stored up to 3 days, and used on other proteins or vegetables. • Adjust honey or balsamic amounts to taste to tweak sweetness or tanginess.
