  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and season each side with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes for a perfect sear.
  3. Pour the balsamic mixture over the salmon, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze thickens slightly.
Serving
  1. Transfer the salmon to a plate, drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan, and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 275°F. Consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for a zesty kick or substituting honey with pineapple juice for a tropical flair.
