Ingredients
Scale
For Balsamic Glaze
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup quality dark honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
For Salmon
- 3 lb Salmon fillet, no skin
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, mix balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or so. Remove from heat, and let cool for 5 minutes.
- To the balsamic mixture, add garlic, spices, mustard, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season salmon well with salt, and a little black pepper on both sides. Brush one side with the balsamic glaze, then lay salmon, glazed sided down, on the prepared baking sheet. Dress the top generously with the balsamic glaze (reserve a small bit of the glaze for the end.)
- Place salmon in oven (middle rack), and bake until salmon flakes nicely. Baking time will depend on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the salmon fillet. For every inch of thickness, roast 8 to 10 minutes. Could be a total of 15 to 18 minutes.
- Remove from oven and brush with remaining glaze. Top with fresh chopped herbs. Enjoy!
