  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Pour the balsamic glaze evenly over the salmon fillet.
  5. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional).
  6. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Carefully remove the salmon from the oven using a metal spatula. Try to leave the fish skin on the foil.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
