Balsamic Glazed Salmon

Contributed By: cjhottmann
South Beach Quick & Easy Cookbook (Phase 1)

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.

Ingredients

4 (6oz) salmon fillets
1 cup Balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp Fresh lemon juice
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Heat oven to 450 degrees 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 1/3 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.
