Share
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup Lychee Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the lychee balsamic vinegar, honey, and soy sauce.
- Simmer the mixture until it thickens slightly and becomes syrupy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Brush each fillet with the lychee balsamic dressing, reserving some for serving.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- For a caramelized top, switch the oven to broil and broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the oven.
- Drizzle the remaining lychee balsamic dressing over the fillets.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve the salmon with your choice of sides such as steamed broccoli and cherry tomatoes for a complete meal.
