Balsamic Salmon

The best part about having fish for dinner is that it cooks super fast and you can have dinner ready in less than 30 minutes. <– Always a plus in my book!

Quick and Easy Balsamic Salmon

Serves 2. Adapted from Balsamic Glazed Cracked Pepper Salmon
If you don’t like spicy foods, simply omit the red pepper flakes.
Ingredients

• 2 wild caught salmon fillets (about 3-4 oz each)
• 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil (or olive oil)
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 3 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. 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.
2. 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. Just make sure you don’t overcook the salmon.
