How to Make Balsamic Glazed Cracked Pepper Salmon Clean Eating
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season both sides of 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add salmon to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon honey.
- Add the balsamic vinegar mixture to the skillet with the salmon. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
- Serve immediately over brown rice or quinoa, and garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
