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
Preheat oven to 425F (220C)
Cover baking pan with foil and brush with vegetable oil (or oil spray it)
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, pour the olive oil and chopped garlic. Mix until golden and soften a bit - about 1 minute.
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.
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.
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
