This is a healthy, easy and impressive way to prepare salmon. The glaze is simple, yet flavourful, and this will quickly become your favourite salmon recipe.
Salmon is a reddish fish, that is tender yet firm and it is a favourite amongst many, due to it's buttery flavour. It is low in saturated fat and high in protein and is also a great source of vitamin B12 and Potassium. These are only some of the reasons salmon has been deemed a super food.
When I worked at the natural food market, I cooked quite a bit of salmon over those 3 years. It was a staple on our hot buffet and one of our most popular items. Our patrons preferred it prepared simply with dill, lemon, salt and pepper. While this is one of my favourite ways to prepare salmon, sometimes you need a little variety.
The balsamic vinegar becomes wonderfully sweet as it bakes in the oven. The Dijon adds a slight tartness, to balance out the sweetness. With only a few healthy ingredients, this recipe is deliciously simple and would be perfect for a dinner party. Paired with my Holiday Potato Medley, this would be an impressive meal sure to become a staple on your dinner table.
Easy Balsamic Glazed Salmon
2/3 C Balsamic vinegar
3 Tbs raw honey, melted
2 Tbs whole grain Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 green onions, chopped
6- 6oz salmon fillets, skinned
In a large zip top bag, add the Balsamic vinegar, melted honey, Dijon, salt and green onions. Mush to combine. Add the salmon to the zip top bag, seal tightly and turn to coat. Place in a shallow dish and refrigerate for 2 hrs, turning after 1 hr.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove salmon fillets from the zip top bag. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork. While fish bakes, pour the marinade from the zip top bag, into a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half and thick.
Once fish is cooked through, brush with glaze and garnish with more green onion (green tops only).
PIN IT!!!

I'm sharing this recipe with THESE awesome linky parties
That sounds delicious! I love salmon but am not that good at cooking it up at home (and having it taste good). Pinned.
ReplyDeleteThe trick to this one is marinating the salmon and thickening the glaze for the end.
DeleteThis looks so good. I am trying to eat more fish and this recipe will certainly be added to my meal plan. Why do you use raw honey may I ask? Does it taste different than clover?
ReplyDeleteRaw honey is unpasteurized so it contains more nutrients than pasteurized honey. It is full of antioxidants. Regular honey can be used. It's just a matter of preference :)
DeleteThis recipe sounds absolutely amazing! We love salmon and this is a great way to change things up! Thank you for sharing!
