balsamic-glazed salmon

this recipe was AHMAZING

next time though i would offer the sauce on the side. it makes a ton of sauce and it tended to be just a tad over powering. but still a great low fat/low cal way to serve salmon.

serves 4

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1 garlic clove
vegetable oil
4 (6oz) salmon fillets, center cut skinned. (i just bought whatever was offered at my grocery store) (still worked great)

2tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper

rice (makes a nice sauce holder).

place an oven rack in the center of oven. preheat to 400 degrees.

spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil. arrange the salmon fillets in a single layer on the baking sheet. drizzle both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. roast for 8-10 minutes until the flesh flakes easily when prodded with a fork. (mine took a bit longer to cook, about 15 minutes)

in a small saucepan, bring vinegar, syrup and garlic to a boil over medium heat. reduce the heat and simmer until thick (about 12 minutes) set aside to cool for 5 minutes.

the calories i have figured for just the salmon and sauce is 300.
