Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon steaks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon steaks in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside, keeping it warm.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.

Step 4

Add the fresh strawberries to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to gently mash them. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the strawberries start to release their juice.

Step 5

Stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped basil leaves for a fresh and aromatic touch.

Step 7

Plate the salmon steaks and spoon the strawberry sauce generously over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, wild rice, or a fresh green salad.
