How to Make Oven Roasted Salmon With Balsamic Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet or shallow baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Place salmon fillet(s) or steaks (about 6 oz total) skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic glaze ingredients: 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Spoon or spread the balsamic glaze evenly over the salmon.
  6. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
  7. Bake for 11-12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. For a 1-inch thick fillet, bake for 11-12 minutes.
  8. Carefully remove the salmon from the pan using a thin spatula, leaving the skin behind on the foil if possible.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
