Ingredients
For the Honey Balsamic Glaze:

Instructions
For the Glaze:
- Allow the salmon to come to room temperature about 15 minutes.

For the Salmon:

- Heat the olive oil in a medium sized non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon fillets and cook about 4 - 6 minutes (depending on the thickness) without moving.

- Transfer the salmon to serving plates and drizzle each fillet with the balsamic glaze.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
