Prep Time

Cooking Time
20 mins
Yields
4
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tsp oil for cooking
- sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 TBS honey
- 1 TBS white wine vinegar
- 3 TBS balsamic vinegar
- A pinch dried rosemary
- A pinch red pepper flakes (to taste)
Directions
1) Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper
2) To cook salmon, can either heat frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat, or heat grill. Place salmon on heated pan/grill and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook other side to desired doneness or until fish flakes apart. Remove from heat and tent with foil.
3) Wipe out pan, and reduce heat to medium-low. Add orange juice, honey, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, rosemary and pepper flakes to pan. Allow glaze to come to a simmer, and cook until becomes thick & syrupy - about 5 minutes - reducing to 1/4 cup.
4) Pour glaze over salmon and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is super simple, and the glaze really cuts any strong salmon taste. The balsamic makes for a perfect compliment to the fish. I love using the grill for the fish as it's easy clean-up, and I don't have to deal with the house smelling like fish for the evening!
