How to Make One Pan Balsamic Salmon

  1. In a large oven-safe skillet (12 inches or larger), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped red onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  3. Place 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the skillet.
  4. Spoon the balsamic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
