Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on, if desired)
- 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined into a smooth glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Brush the glaze generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, reserving a small amount of the glaze for later use.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved glaze over the salmon to enhance the flavor.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
