I am very pleased to welcome a new guest author here at JamJarGill: Paterson Riley from Fishing like a boss.
She emailed me directly, recently, to submit a blog post on making the most of cooking with salmon, we all should be trying to have at least one fish supper a week to keep up all those lovely fish oils in our diets, which have so many health benefits and to help reduce our meat consumption too. It is of course important to get your fish from a sustainable source too, always question that.

Balsamic Glaze Salmon Fillets
Cooking is an art. For you to leave a mark and have people yearning for more of your cooking, you have to bring in uniqueness and perfection to your meal. Salmon is a well-renowned source of proteins, fats, omega-3 oils as well as vitamins B and D. The salmon blends perfectly with Balsamic vinegar, mustard, honey and fresh herbs. There are many ways to prepare your salmon fillets but perhaps glazing them with balsamic vinegar will give you an upper hand in the cooking arena. The Balsamic-glazed salmon fillets recipe is simple and will give you an opportunity to try out a bunch of flavors to experiment with.
Balsamic Glazed Salmon Fillets
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh Salmon Fillets
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste
For the Glaze:
- ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Tap Water
- 3 Tablespoons Packed Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle Tabasco Sauce
Instructions
-
Add all of the ingredients for the glaze together in a non-reactive bowl and stir until all of the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
-
Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the salmon with freshly ground black pepper.
-
Place the salmon fillets into a large pan and cook on medium heat for approximately 25 minutes.
-
Whilst the salmon is cooking, with a pastry brush, brush a little of the glaze onto each side of the fillets before you flip them over. Keep repeating this process until the salmon is cooked. You should end up with a darkened sticky, slightly crispy glaze on either side of the fillets.
-
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the pan and place on your serving plates. Pour the remainder of the glaze into the pan and cook on low for a few minutes, stirring continuously. Remove from the heat and drizzle a small amount over each fillet.
-
Serve immediately with green beans and new potatoes.
