How to make Honey Balsamic Salmon
For the Honey Balsamic Glaze
Allow the salmon to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine the balsamic vinegar, broth, honey, Dijon mustard, thyme, and garlic.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside.
For the Salmon
Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon fillets and cook for about 4 - 6 minutes (depending on the thickness) without moving.
Carefully flip the salmon to the other side and cook 4 - 6 minutes longer until the salmon has cooked through.
Transfer the salmon to serving plates and drizzle each fillet with the balsamic glaze.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
