Honey Balsamic Bruschetta Salmon
Quick and simple, honey balsamic bruschetta salmon has incredible flavors and requires just 30 minutes of hands-on cooking time. An instant favorite for salmon lovers!
Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
- salt and pepper to taste, (I use about ¾ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 7 tablespoons honey, divided
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- ⅓ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- cracked black pepper, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, bring balsamic vinegar to a boil. Continue to cook 10-12 minutes until liquid has reduced by half. Stir in 4 tablespoons of honey and simmer for another 2-5 minute or until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a heat-safe bowl or jar to cool while you cook the salmon.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a large pan or skillet. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of honey.
- Transfer salmon to a skillet and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, being sure not to move the salmon while cooking, then flip the salmon over and cook for another 6-8 minutes until cooked through and browned on both sides.
- Top salmon with tomatoes and cracked black pepper. Drizzle with the honey balsamic glaze, then top with parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
Notes
Sometimes I liked to add 1/4 teaspoon each salt and garlic powder to the balsamic vinegar for a bigger punch of flavor. Completely optional!
