For the Salmon:

2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Salmon: Season the 4-ounce salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Cook the Salmon: In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and sear for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Make the Glaze: While the salmon is baking, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve: Drizzle the honey balsamic glaze over the cooked salmon. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
