Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on, if desired)
• 3 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until fully combined into a smooth glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 4

Brush the glaze generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, reserving a small amount of the glaze for later use.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should be cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Step 6

In the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved glaze over the salmon to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
