Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and thyme
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Sear salmon skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook 2 minutes
Reduce heat to low, add balsamic vinegar and garlic to the pan
Simmer 7-10 minutes until glaze thickens, basting salmon occasionally
Finish with a drizzle of glaze before serving
Notes
Use frozen salmon if fresh is unavailable
For extra gloss, let glaze cook until syrupy consistency
Best reheated in oven at 300°F for 8-10 minutes
Pair with steamed broccoli or cauliflower mash
Avoid flaring pans with pork-based ingredients
