Creating Salmon with Balsamic Glaze is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, and minced garlic.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it skin-side down in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.
5. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken slightly.
7. Glaze the Salmon: Spoon the balsamic glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
8. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the salmon with fresh herbs.
9. Serve: Plate the salmon fillets with a drizzle of the balsamic glaze from the skillet.
