Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets about 3–4 oz each
- 1 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Add salmon to skillet and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- While the salmon is cooking, whisk together honey, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Add vinegar mixture to skillet and simmer until fish is fork-tender and liquid reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. For a thicker, reduced sauce, simmer for 5 to 10 additional minutes. You may need to remove the salmon during this process, just to make sure it doesn't overcook.
- Plate salmon and serve with sides of your choice.
