Recipe type: Main, Fish
 
An absolute keeper! The balsamic vinegar complements the salmon perfectly. With a tender texture and a fresh taste this dish is fabulous.
Ingredients
  • 7 Salmon Fillets
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 6 Garlic Cloves - Finely chopped
  • ⅔ cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • 4 tbsp Mustard
  • 2-3 tbsp Honey
  • ½ tsp salt + ½ tsp pepper
  • Dry Basil - For sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F (220C)
  2. Cover baking pan with foil and brush with vegetable oil (or oil spray it)
  3. In a small saucepan, over medium heat, pour the olive oil and chopped garlic. Mix until golden and soften a bit - about 1 minute.
  4. Add the vinegar, mustard, water, honey, salt and pepper into the saucepan, mix and let boil. Once boils lower heat to minimum and simmer for about 5 minutes until sauce is thickened a bit. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Place Salmon pieces on the foil layered baking pan and brush every piece with the sauce. You can use a tbsp and just pour about 2 tbsp on each piece and spread a bit to cover each piece. Finally, sprinkle with dry basil and place in oven.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes until salmon flakes easily when you touch it with a fork.
Notes
Optional - 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (If you like the sourness) - was not used in this recipe
