A delightful salmon recipe with a sweet and tangy honey-balsamic glaze, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a good sear.
Season both sides of the salmon fillets with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the spices stick better.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and balsamic vinegar until well combined.
Use a fork if you don't have a whisk to mix the glaze.
Pour the glaze into the skillet with the salmon and cook for an additional minute, spooning the glaze over the fillets as it thickens.
Keep an eye on the glaze to prevent it from burning.
Serve the salmon warm, drizzled with any remaining glaze from the skillet.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a lemon wedge for added flavor and presentation.
