Crisp-skinned salmon fillets seared to perfection, topped with a tangy balsamic reduction. Elegant enough for guests, easy enough for weeknights.
Ingredients
4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 teaspoons canola oil 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice 4 teaspoons brown sugar
Directions
Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook salmon in oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once. Remove and keep warm. Combine the water, vinegar, lemon juice and brown sugar; pour into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Serve over salmon.
