Easy Balsamic Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/3 cup of Traditional Dark Balsamic Vinegar (or your favorite)
• 2 tablespoons Franklin Raw Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional garnish)
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly into a glaze. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is golden brown and cooked through.
• During the last minute of cooking, spoon the balsamic glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the glaze to caramelize slightly on the salmon for extra flavor.
• Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
