Key-Lime Balsamic & Honey Glazed Salmon
This is a quick and delicious way to make a weeknight meal. The tart of the lime is mellowed by honey as well as the reduction process, creating a fantastically sweet, citrus flavor. Serves 2.
Ingredients
For the salmon:
- 2 wild salmon fillets
- Sigona’s Fresh Press extra virgin olive oil for brushing, see note
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup Sigona’s Key lime white balsamic see note
- 1 1/2 Tbsp honey such as local, raw honey from Honey Hole Honey Co., available only at Sigona’s
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a small saucepan, stir together the balsamic, honey, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; reduce to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 or until it has reduced by almost half. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Line a rimmed baking pan with foil and lightly grease with oil. Brush both sides of the salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil then roast for about 8 to 12 minutes or until cooked through (the FDA recommends 145°F though some salmon fans say 125°F for an optimum flavor experience).
- Once the salmon is plated, drizzle with the key-lime balsamic & honey glaze. Serve immediately.
